5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense words you should already know but probably don’t.
There are times when common sense knowledge needs to be written down and presented in a way that makes it applicable to the everyday person. The Admirals words aren’t groundbreaking or even new ideas but are words to live by, presented in an easy to read and understand manner, and in a length that allows this book to be read quickly. A primer on leadership, the phrase “a Shepard smells like his sheep” is something that no one in a position of leadership should forget. Absolutely worth the money to buy, the time to read, and the later opportunity to give as a gift for someone else to learn from.

Quick read, insightful intro to lessons on leadership.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on leadership I've ever read
This book was phenomenal. There was not one single paragraph in it that was not valuable. In fact, I think its good enough to read annually as a leader. Where else can you learn IN DEPTH lessons from a former Admiral?
5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Direct, Engaging, and Universal
The blurb on the inside cover of Admiral McRaven's fourth book hails it as "a short, inspirational guide offering advice and leadership lessons gathered over four decades as a Navy SEAL." True to its description, The Wisdom of the Bullfrog goes beyond, making it particularly captivating for those dedicated to enhancing their leadership skills. What sets it apart? McRaven skillfully condenses his 40-year journey into 18 chapters filled with anecdotal snapshots. Each chapter is punctuated by a memorable title, serving as a leadership rule, followed by a concise summary. These rules transcend conventional HBS wisdom, and the summaries form a valuable curriculum. Few individuals, possessing both McRaven's intellect and extensive experience, choose to share their insights publicly. The stories unveiled in the book portray a tenacious individual committed to conquering both physical and mental obstacles, demonstrating that wisdom is forged through the crucible of hard knocks, where failure becomes the most instructive teacher, and successes validate the pains of learning. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wholeheartedly recommend it. The author's writing style is clear and direct, the content is engaging, and the lessons imparted are universally applicable. A solid five stars.
