I am surprised Jocko Willink's books aren't on here. His book on leadership, Extreme Ownership, is excellent. Intertwined are stories from his time as a Navy Seal leader and applications of what he learned there to the business world.


I really enjoyed Extreme Ownership especially the story about the BUDS team leader complaining about always losing because of his team, him being switched to lead the team that always won previously, and the team that kept losing making a comeback.

Great book about leadership and entertaining.


His follow-up, The Dichotomy of Leadership is almost as good, and his podcast is a constant source of motivation. I am a Marine so I feel like I am extremely biased, but, everyone I've shared his work with has felt it equally as rewarding.
