WAY OF THE SEAL UPDATED AND EXPANDED EDITION
J**E
A very detailed book on the SEAL leadership principles.
As someone who served both in the U.S. Navy (unfortunately, not as Navy SEAL) and a career law enforcement officer I have had a passion for the numerous warrior arts, (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, Krav Maga, Combatives, knife fighting Combat shooting, and related fields), for most of my life.I have read numerous books over the years on the U.S. Navy SEAL leadership principles, their intense fitness standards and tests, and anything else I could get my hands on about this elite group of warriors. This is why I decided to purchase this fantastic 294-page soft cover volume (The way of the SEAL: Think like an elite warrior to lead and succeed by Mark divine: Commander, U.S. Navy SEALS (retired) when I saw it on Amazon.This is truly an amazing book. It is not written by some armchair warrior but by a SEAL team officer who clearly understands what it takes to succeed in mind, body and spirit. He explains the importance of leadership covering the basic 8 principles he has been teaching to military and business leaders for many years.These principles include the following: “establish your set point, develop front-sight focus, bulletproof your mission, do today what others won’t, forge mental toughness, break things, build your intuition, think offense, all the time.”As expected with any SEAL type training, this very detailed book and the lessons given must not just be read, but they must be regularly practiced and burned into your consciousness through countless repetition. As this book emphasizes, “you must earn your trident every day.”I loved this book. I recommended it to anyone who desires to succeed in life no matter what their chosen profession may be.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

THE GAME CHANGER
The Way of the SEAL is a GAME CHANGER. Whether you're going to try out to become a Navy SEAL, wanting to better your station in life, or make a quantum leap in your business. The Way of the SEAL is required reading. Divine nails it and hits it out of the park. This book is a page turner and has me very fired up. What separates this book from all the rest is how Devine shows you how to deal with the emotional side of life. This will be a major breakthrough for most people. This type of training is very very hard to find. How many times have you asked yourself, "What dog are you feeding?" Having the ability to know and how to catch yourself right before your emotions torpedo you could make all the difference in the world in sporting events, business, and relationships.Most men are NOT taught the skills to navigate their emotions. When men start breaking emotionally they are toast. Devine shows you the step by step process on how to tame & control your emotions and keep you in the fight whether you are playing a sport, combat, or just dealing with life. The book teaches you how NOT to quit. You know what I'm talking about. You are in the middle of a run or some other difficult task in life, you are getting tired, you are telling yourself not to quit, and then your mind gives the negative emotional command, then you break, and you are done. Then the pain of regret sets in. Do you want to know how to conquer yourself. The Way of the SEAL will teach you. Divine could have easily changed the title of his book to, How to be a Man.What separates this book from most self-help books is Devine has been there and done it multiple times as a Special Forces Operator and as a business man. Most self-help books are written by people who have done nothing but write and sell books. You know what I'm talking about. You're reading one of these Epic Books of Complete Nonsense and you are no better off before you started reading that book.I also recommend joining up for Mark Devine's Unbeatable Mind Academy.Commander Devine, Well Done and Thank You for the read ! I will be seeing you at one of your camps.Patrick

Commands The Reader's Attention With A Proven Strategy For Success
It is fitting that Commander Divine's THE WAY OF THE SEAL: THINK LIKE AN ELITE WARRIOR TO LEAD AND SUCCEED's Introduction "Lead From The Field," commences with a quotation from James Allen (his best known work, the 1902 AS A MAN THINKETH). As surely as James Allen, Wallace D. Wattles, Orison Swett Marden, Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone, Og Mandino, Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins and others are remembered for their positive contributions and influence within the discipline of human achievement and personal success, so I am confident that Commander Divine's WOS will equally and rightfully find itself with the personal libraries of those who seek success through personal excellence - and who settle for nothing less. Like each of these distinguished authors and pioneers of the inner dimension, Commander Divine's WOS is uniquely personal, engaging and profound, drawing upon his multi-dimensional and integrated experience within business, the martial arts, BUDs, active/reserve SEAL deployments, as a husband, father, coach, lifelong student and co-inquirer of the human experience - for self, team, organization and the greater whole of humanity. WOS leads the reader on an epic adventure unlike any other - because it is unlike any other story ever written. It is YOUR destiny... YOUR story! YOU are in control and YOU are the point man on this warrior's path to self-discovery.As a graduate of Commander Divine's Unbeatable Mind Academy (UMA) Class #1, I have personally witnessed his continued growth, depth of research, clarity of thought and clear purpose in life, manifested within his writings and lecture formats, including 8 WEEKS TO SEALFIT. Equally, under his leadership, I have experienced my own positive transformations within the five domains of the physical, mental, emotional, intuitive/awareness and kokoro (the merging of heart & mind with uncommon resolve). With the publication of WOS, I can only look forward to the next development emerging from the heart & mind of Commander Divine.

I highly recommend this book!
My favourite thing about this book is that it is practical and applicable into my life. Mark shares the lessons learned by the seals that are used in the most high-risk situations in the world. Even today, I still think of Mark's term of front sight focus, while setting my goals. This book is an easy read and is full of helpful and practical advice to apply in your life!

Buy first, ask questions later!
Having watched countless movies and videos of SAS and SEALs, this book was a god send! You would think special forces are so cool, with their broad shoulders and smart thinking - why not share the basics?This book lays it out in a simple language and shows you the other side for us civilians. You’d be amazed by the simplicity of thought applied and the strategies Mark talks about. It’s convenient that he’s also into meditation and martial arts - both of which adds that extra spice into creating new habits.Best part is that the author flavours his concepts with his real-life past, almost like watching a box office action movie. You’d be surprised by his humility and his awesomeness of sharing secrets. When you gain from it, take a cue and pass it along! Read this book to know how not to waste your ammo.

Not quick fix
The best title for the true content of this book. Not silver bullets, no quick fixes, no promises. Only hard work and commitment if you want to follow what Divine teaches in this book.I started reading it for the second time.
