Join Live: Second Floor Reads

Make Your Bed

Join us for our non-fiction book discussion group. This month's title: Make Your Bed:Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World by Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy, retired).

Register to receive the Zoom link and reserve a loan copy of the book, or use your Schaumburg Library card to check out the eAudiobook from eRead Illinois or Digital Library of Illinois. 

On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
