EMBRACE THE SUCK
THE NAVY SEAL WAY TO AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Foreword by David Goggins

A raw, brutally honest, in-your-face self-help guide based on the Navy SEAL mindset to thrive in adversity. During the brutal crucible of Navy SEAL training, the instructors often tell the students to “embrace the suck.” Meaning that the students should start getting comfortable being very uncomfortable and lean into the pain–enjoy it even. Those that are successful in this transformation go on to become the most elite warriors the modern world has ever known.
