Summary:
In his 37 years in the military, McRaven saw both the best and worst of humanity and shares stories of the real, everyday heroes who have inspired him.
"In 1977, Bill McRaven graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and joined the Navy SEALs. Over the course of the next 37 years he traveled the world. During that time, he saw the worst of humanity; war and destruction, disease and poverty. The world was full of problems, seemingly intractable, unsolvable , impossible problems. But also, in those 37 years he saw the very best of manking. Men and women who sought peace, who rebuilt nations, who cured disease and lifted the poor from poverty. Men and women whose compassion was so deep that it made the cruelty and indifference of other pale in comparison; men and women who were from all walks of life, from every socioeconomic background, from every race, every creed, and every gender and orientation. 'The Hero Code' is Admiral McRaven's ringing tribute to the real, everyday heroes he's met over the years, from battlefields to hospitals to college campuses, who are doing their part to save the world. 'The hero code' is not a cypher, a puzzle, or a secret message. It is a code of conduct: lesson in virtues that can become the foundations of our character as we build a life worthy of honor and respect."--Jacket.
