EP 1,027B – EMBRACE THE SUCK: The Navy SEAL way to an Extraordinary Life

During the brutal crucible of Navy SEAL training, instructors often tell students to “embrace the suck.”

During the brutal crucible of Navy SEAL training, instructors often tell students to “embrace the suck.” This phrase conveys the one lesson vital for any SEAL hopeful to learn: to lean into the suffering and get comfortable being very uncomfortable. In this powerful, no-nonsense guide, Navy SEAL combat veteran turned leadership expert teaches you how to transform every area of your life—the Navy SEAL way.

Embrace the Suck provides an actionable roadmap that empowers you to expand your comfort zone to live a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life. Through candid storytelling, behavioral science research, and plenty of self-deprecating humor, Gleeson shows you how to use pain as a pathway, reassess your values, remove temptation, build discipline, suffer with purpose, fail successfully, transform your mind, and achieve more of the goals you desire.

Brent Gleeson was a member of SEAL Team 5, some of the first SEALs deployed to Iraq in early 2003. He completed combat deployments in Iraq, Africa, and other theaters of war. After returning to civilian life, Brent earned an MBA and has built award-winning, multi-million dollar organizations that have repeatedly landed on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies. He is the author of TakingPoint and has starred in several reality shows including Mark Burnett’s ‘Stars Earn Stripes.’ 

He joins Dr. Roizen to talk about this book, his Challenge-Commitment-Control mindset and reveals how resilient people view difficulties as a Challenge, where obstacles and failures are a blessing and opportunity for growth.
