Summary, etc.: | Growing up in Texas, McRaven dreamed of being a superhero and saving the earth from destruction. As he grew older he found real heroes everywhere he went-- and none of them had superpowers, none wore capes or cowls. But they all possessed qualities that gave them the power to help others, to make a difference, to save the world: courage, both physical and moral; humility; a willingness to sacrifice; and a deep sense of integrity. Here he discusses the lessons in virtues that can become the foundations of our character as we build a life worthy of honor and respect. -- adapted from Amazon info |
