'Extreme Ownership: How Navy SEALs Lead and Win' is a #nytimes-bestseller detailing the mindset and principles which enabled SEAL units to accomplish impossible combat missions. The #book, co-authored by #navy-seals Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, shares visceral stories of combat and translates them into lessons for business and life. [1][2]

The book provides readers with Willink and Babin's formula for success; the mindset and guiding principles that enable the achievement of extraordinary results in any leadership environment. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain; explaining what they are, why they're important, and how to implement them.

My reading of #extreme-ownership was prompted by Tim Ferriss' inclusion of Jocko on the The Tim Ferriss Show and later mention in Tribe of Mentors. [3]
