Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...and Maybe the World
by William H. McRaven
This is a very short book, but the author still manages to repeat some of his stories several times. In one case he ends the story by addressing "the graduating class of 2014," which makes me wonder if this is simply a collection of recordings from several speeches he's given, thrown together into a tiny book with barely any editing.
This book is read by the author. He has a stereotypical military voice, which would be terrible for narrating anything except military stories. So in this case it works.
The stories could be useful for inspiring the listener to have more grit and persevere, so feel free to give it a shot.
A note I thought amusing: this book is 1 hr and 53 minutes long. Audible also has a "Summary of Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life. And Maybe the World" book that is 1 hr and 15 minutes long, which seems completely unnecessary. Ah well.
