Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet by Jesse Itzler

Living With a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet by Jesse Itzler is an inspiring account of a man’s challenge to push himself beyond his physical, mental and spiritual comfort zone. Jesse Itzler, an entrepreneur and the founder of Marquis Jets and an investor in companies such as Zico and JetSmarter, is determined to take his fitness to the next level. To take his physical and mental health to new heights, Jesse invites a Navy SEAL known as “The Legend,” to live with him and his family to train him and become more disciplined, focused and driven.

Living With a SEAL is an honest reflection of one man’s journey to push himself to new heights and become more challenging, disciplined and focused on his goals and dreams. The book begins with some background on the author, Jesse Itzler, and why he decided to embark upon his Navy SEAL challenge. Jesse had achieved some success but was feeling a bit complacent. He felt something had been lacking in his life and decided to bring in a professional to get him out of his comfort zone.

The professional he selected was a Navy SEAL, “The Legend,” who moved in with Jesse and his family for 31 days and trained him in some of the toughest exercises imaginable. Jesse was pushed to his physical, mental and spiritual limits, but was able to accomplish incredible feats of strength and endurance. He learned challenging mental and physical lessons from the seal such as “embrace the suck” and “do one more”.

The book is filled with inspiring lessons and personal stories from Jesse’s time with the Navy SEAL. One inspiring moment is when Jesse decides to run a marathon and the SEAL tags along, encouraging him the entire way. The SEAL’s presence is an incredible display of support, and Jesse’s newfound motivation and strength carry him through his first marathon.

Living with a SEAL is an inspiring look at the person Jesse can be and provides a blueprint for those with similar aspirations. The book outlines the training exercises, the mental and physical challenges, and the valuable lessons learned that enabled Jesse to complete this challenge. He was able to not only survive 31 days with the toughest man alive, but also used his experience to completely transform himself.

In his own words, “You don’t need to live with a SEAL for 31 days to grow as a person but it sure does speed up the process.” This book is a great way to kickstart growth and begin to realize one’s potential. It can also serve as an inspiration to those looking to unlock their inner strength. With Jesse’s own reflections and the lessons he learned, Living with a SEAL provides an incredibly motivating and inspiring read.
