Every man is born with just one thing: his sovereignty--his power to respond to his environment and his circumstances. Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others. Is it any wonder that men, in general, seem to have lost their way? You don't have to look very far to recognize that men don't seem to possess the same amount of vigor and purpose they once did. Take one sobering statistic--the rate of suicide in men--and you begin to see how damaging the effects of the voluntary subjugation of men to their families, their businesses, and their governments can be. It's not hard to understand why we give up control to others--it's easy and we're expected to. Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men is a call for men to once again rise up and establish themselves as they once were--a revolution if you will. Inside the pages of this book, we'll uncover the battle each man will inevitably engage in, the external forces fighting against the call to masculinity, and the internal struggle all men must overcome. But make no mistake, this revolution is not a call for men to go their own way and rally against society. It's a call for men to become fully the men they are meant to be so they may more adequately take care of themselves and those they are responsible for. Men have always been expected to protect, provide, and preside over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. By embodying the thirteen Sovereign Virtues we detail inside, every man will be more capable of fulfilling his masculine duties and responsibilities. The words in this book go well beyond principle and theory, however, as we build the framework for establishing a battle plan to combat the external and internal threats to our masculine power and give every man the tools, resources, guidance, direction, and ability to reclaim what has always been his: his sovereignty.

We all know that we need to implement more consistent and effective habits in our lives. Book after book has been released on how habits shape us, how they are created, why we need them. But the looming unspoken question is this: which habits make the greatest difference in our lives? Which habits, specifically, move the needle the most in our ability to succeed and find fulfillment? Which proven habits move us closer to world-class performance? It’s one thing to know that habits are important, it’s another to know the secret rituals of the world’s most successful people. 20 years ago, author Brendon Burchard set out to discover why some people can easily change, develop skill rapidly, and rise in their chosen career field—while others work hard but struggle for decades. What he discovered is a unique set of habits that apply across all areas of our lives, that when practiced lead to success across any domain. The discoveries have made Brendon the world’s leading high performance coach and one of the most watched, quoted, and followed personal development trainers in history. It is this real-world experience and data set that Brendon uses to reveal the psychological mindsets and daily habits of the high performers who get ahead. In this book, you’ll learn: • How the world’s highest-performing people think, respond to challenge, and achieve goals faster than their peers • Why high performers shirk the advice of “just be yourself” and “do what comes naturally to you” • How to quickly move from novice to player, then winner to high performer, in any area of life • Why motivation, grit and practice are not enough despite the recent buzz • How high performers predict the real odds of success • What daily 20-minute habit proves to increase life satisfaction by 20% • Shortcuts to quickly master a skill or topic • The difference between incremental improvement and “remodeling” • When to give up or start over so that you can move ahead faster • Tactical advantage habits that help you become 30% more productive in 7 days • Absolutely must-do habits to immediately follow for your health, relationships and career High Performance Habits draws on the latest research in neuroscience, positive psychology and one of the world’s largest audiences dedicated to personal development to reveal the path to a more effective and fulfilling life.

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. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honour, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple and universal wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare — poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him “The Fittest (Real) Man in America.” In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
