Lead and win.Combat is the most intense environment imaginable; it teaches the toughest leadership lessons with absolutely everything at stake. In Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin share the hard-won lessons they learned on the violent battlefields of Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they secured Ramadi, a city deemed "all but lost". Through gripping, first-hand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership – at every level – is the single most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.Upon returning from deployment, Willink and Babin instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on these harsh lessons of self-discipline, mental toughness, and resilience to the next generation of SEAL leaders. In their work with civilians, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies across virtually every industry, teaching them how to develop high-performance teams and lead them to victory.Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for the genre. Required reading for many of the world's most successful organisations, it details the resilient mindset and total focus principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions.

Fifth grade was the worst year of Marc's life. He stunk at gym class, math was too hard for him, the school lunch was horrible, and his class field trip was ruined because he couldn't swim. And the most awful thing about fifth grade? Kenny Williamson, the class bully, who calls himself the 'King of the Jungle.' When Marc's mother tells him that his Uncle Jake is coming to stay for the whole summer, Marc can't wait. Uncle Jake is a for real, super-cool Navy SEAL. And Uncle Jake has a plan. He's going to turn Marc into a warrior. Becoming a warrior isn't easy. It involves a lot of pull ups, sit ups, pushups, squats, swimming, eating right, and studying harder than ever before! Can Marc transform himself into a warrior before school starts in the fall - and finally stand up to the King of the Jungle himself?
