Something about this title appealed to me. I wouldn’t say I lack discipline, in fact, in some areas of my life I would say I am extremely disciplined. However, “navy seal self-discipline” is a completely different story. It is intriguing, even for a 43-year-old woman who is an educator and has no plans of entering into the armed forces to understand what that might entail.
The book promises you’ll read about how to mentally, physically, emotionally, and nutritionally train like Navy SEALs, and it did just that. It more than delivered on its promise. As an added bonus, it offered quite a bit of background knowledge on what a candidate must go through in order to earn entrance into this group. I now know (and admire) what these candidates go through in order to become a SEAL.
Who are the Navy SEALs? As described in this book, “They’re an elite, small group of maritime military force specialists that engage in what is known as unconventional warfare.”
The book begins by outlining what it takes to begin testing and preparation prior to even being considered for Navy SEAL training (training before the training). Candidates prepare and train in a series of grueling tasks for an entire year before they earn the opportunity to become admitted into the SEALs. The following are the stages and how long each stage lasts. Stage One: includes three weeks of indoctrination. Stage Two: includes three phases of BUD/S Training. Phase One, includes physical conditioning for seven weeks, and Phase Two includes Combat Diving for seven weeks. The first and second phases of training is said to condition the body and mind while the third is the actual prep work required to be out in the field on actual, real life missions. The third and final phase is land warfare. This is where the candidates undergo training for handling weapons and military land and underwater explosives, rappelling, tactical small units operations and navigating different land terrains, among other tasks for seven weeks. THEN BUD/S training, Parachute Jump School (three weeks) and finally graduation! SEAL training begins after graduation. Once in, there is SEAL training, Individuality Specialty training, Unit Level Training, and Task Group Level Training. WHEW!!!
So, Why train like a SEAL? Well, it’s obvious from the rigor and the few who actually make it in are the best of the best. Only two thousand candidates nationwide make it out of thousands that apply, so there is something to this. In order to be the best, you must look at what the best is doing to gain an understanding of what it can include.
Also, Lopez suggests that training like a SEAL will give you the self-confidence you need to succeed in life. When you’re as physically and mentally fit and strong as they are, there’s no reason for you to feel inferior and incapable of achieving great things. He discusses knowing your self: your life purpose, flaws, strengths and weaknesses. He further discusses, physical conditioning, emotional and mental toughness, and clean eating diet to give you the optimum results. He goes through each of these areas with concise detail and examples. This book covers all the necessary areas to conquer, in order to live a successful life.
Formatting errors and typos take away from the actual content of the book. Normally, I’d be more forgiving, but since this is the fourth edition of this book I expected more polish. A lot of the errors are really basic things, too, such as the Kindle version not accurately reporting page numbers until partway through chapter 9, or the frequent misspellings of both BUD/S and SEALs (in the book you’ll see “BUDs”, “buds”, “bud”, “SEALS”, “Seals”, and “seals”). I salute the author for the achievement of writing the book, but it needs some heavy-duty editing & polishing.
Awesome, everything u need to know to transform your life! I recommend it highly. Lessons navy seals learn and use and how u can use them yourself to make a change in ur everyday life!
This book brings home some interesting information to support the need to be mentally, physically, emotionally, and nutritionally prepared in order to tackle the things life throws at us.
The first chapters are fine, then you get the impression that the author had to fill pages. Better read Mark Divine’s book (unbeatable mind) or perhaps I read them in the wrong order.

If you change "man" to "person" book full of insight generally.
If you substitute "person" (or "soldier") for "man," this book is an excellent manual for applying the time-honed techniques of SEAL training to everyday life. Yes, I am aware that there have never been female SEALs. Thinking only in male pronouns when discussing excellence will perpetuate those limitations extant in both systems--the military, business, medicine--and in one's personal sphere. This book potentially has limitless application to systems theory, even marriage and the raising of honorable children. BUT not until we see changes to the language--which is, as the author points out, critical to candidates' success. Until then the book, like the systems it describes, remains cut off from the excellence of 1/2 the humans capable of excellence. And their insights. Can't overcome until you ADAPT, guys. .
If you have little or no knowledge of basic security this book is for you. Obviously we must adapt the book strategies to our situation ; some things will fit like a glove other ideas won't. It is thought provoking. I would humbly suggest for nutrition advice seek out Primal Endurance. You can't go wrong. Jt Merlin
This book is extremely short, but I think it largely accomplishes its goal of illustrating the attributes of Navy Seals that can be applied to everyone who seeks self-improvement. The information is all pretty high-level, but there is a lot of good advice to be gleaned from these pages.
This book should be read by everyone as it will help transform their lives for the better. I am loving what I am learning for myself and my days are getting better.
Grateful for those strong enough and committed until the end. This book will make you appreciate those brave souls who risk their lives for us and will make you want to push yourself...further
