About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Learn the secret to being the best.

During his 20 years as a Navy SEAL, Commander Rich Diviney was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. But Diviney was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: who could be part of the world's most elite military unit?

Eventually, he cracked the code. Through years of observation, Diviney learned to identify a successful recruit's core attributes, the innate traits for how a person performs as an individual and as part of a team. That same methodology can be used by anyone in their personal or professional lives.

In this book the key attributes for success - including cunning, adaptability, even narcissism - are defined in fresh and surprising ways and Diviney shows how they can be applied to a team as readily as a person. Understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can fast-track optimal performance in all areas of your life.

An Excellent resource to "Know Thyself"!

I first heard Rich Diviney on the Jocko Willink Podcast.
I was expecting a standard Navy SEAL interview, but his explanations of the differences between the people who perform or fail was unprecedented.
I picked up this book because I have been fascinated how there are some men who are are so often judged as "indisciplined" ,"uncooperative" but perform spectacularly on tasks under immense pressure and incredible odds and others who are allegedly "self disciplined" but crumble as soon as anything goes out of plan.

This book finally gave me an answer.

I have not found a single other book where you will get this nuanced and specific kind of information about human performance .

Rich does not beat around the bush or use complicated corporate jargon that fills standard management books and since he was in charge of the Navy SEALs training program as a commander you can bet that what he says works.
This book is worth it's weight in gold and is far better than any corporate management seminar I have attended.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
