From the author of Make Your Bed, The Hero Code and The Wisdom of the Bullfrog, comes an uplifting selection of the Admiral’s speeches, letters, toasts and poems that capture the essence of who we are as Americans.
 
Admiral McRaven’s famous 2014 “Make Your Bed” speech at the University of Texas went viral with over 150 million views. Now, for the first time ever, comes a collection of his other speeches and writings that will inspire and motivate young and old readers alike. With his unique writing style, each speech is a story recalling acts of heroism, courage, sacrifice, and a sense of duty, honor, and country. These speeches include tributes to soldiers, Navy SEALs, law enforcement officers, doctors, public servants, Boy Scouts, graduating students, that game of football, and “Irishmen.” 

Full of inspiration and wisdom, Duty, Honor, Country, and Life is a reminder to us all of our time-honored American values of civility and decency—and a reflection on what these values mean for the future of our country.
