Make Your Bed - Admiral William H. McRaven (2017)

The book is an extension of the commencement speech given by the Admiral. Anecdotes are taken from his experience as a Navy SEAL and delivered as ten short pieces of advice. Those are summarized in the final paragraph of the book. 

"Remember… start each day with a task completed. Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often. But if you take some risks, step up when times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden, and never, ever give up—if you do these things, then you can change your life for the better… and maybe the world!"

Overall a breeze read.
