Blaine's Reviews > Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet

“If you don't challenge yourself, you don't know yourself. “
…
“Every day do something that makes you uncomfortable.”
…
“If you can see yourself doing something, you can do it. If you can't see yourself doing something, usually you can't achieve it.”

I'd never heard of Jesse Itzler before coming across this book. He seems like a hard worker, who's created a lot of 'lucky' breaks for himself. But he’s also a bit goofy. It is completely believable that he think it fun to get a Navy Seal to live with him for 30 days to shake up his exercise routine.

Jesse and the Seal’s relationship is what gives Living with a SEAL its heart. They are polar opposites, and each of them is just bewildered by how the other lives. The Seal is very entertaining ... from this distance. The most interesting part were the life lessons Itzler describes learning from this experience. A quick, fun read, and oddly inspirational.
