navy-seal-art-of-warThe Navy SEAL’s are considered some of the best special forces in the world.  The Navy SEAL Art of War by Rob Roy reveals the values that make them elite warriors.  This book is patterned after Sun Tzu’s classic, The Art of War.

Rob Roy shares the principles that guide Navy SEAL’s to assist you in your personal life and business.  The book is comprised of short chapters highlighting a key theme or principle.  The author makes application of the lessons from the battlefield to the boardroom.  This book enables you to learn from a seasoned warrior who has excelled as a Navy SEAL and as an entrepreneur in the business community.

The principles in this book will benefit anyone seeking to live a more effective life.  Here is a brief sample:

No plan survives contact with the enemy.  (p. 22)

We think in terms of possibilities not limitations.  (p. 38)

We put it all on the table today, right here, right now; yesterday is history and tomorrow may never come.  (p. 58)

If it were easy and pain-free, everyone would be doing it.  (p. 85)

If you quit every time you feel pain, you’ll never succeed at anything.  (p. 87)

If you embrace the suck, you can overcome almost any obstacle or difficulty.  (p. 108)

Pain is temporary, but quitting will last forever.  (p. 126)

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.”  (p. 136)

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.  (p. 168)

This book is filled with principles as listed above and is motivational in its style.  Unlike many other books that contain “salty” language this book is suitable for all ages without causing a cringe factor for parents.  Rob Roy provides excellent counsel for everyday life,

For by wise guidance you will wage war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.  (Proverbs 24:6)

I highly recommend this book.  (I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review).
