Publisher's summary

Entrepreneur Jesse Itzler chronicles his month of living and extreme fitness training with a Navy SEAL in the New York Times and number one LA Times best seller Living With a Seal, now with two bonus sections.

Entrepreneur Jesse Itzler will try almost anything. His life is about being bold and risky. So when Jesse felt himself drifting on autopilot, he hired a rather unconventional trainer to live with him for a month-an accomplished Navy SEAL widely considered to be "the toughest man on the planet"!

Living With a Seal is like a buddy movie if it starred the Fresh Prince of Bel- Air...and Rambo. Jesse is about as easy-going as you can get. SEAL is...not. Jesse and SEAL's escapades soon produce a great friendship, and Jesse gains much more than muscle. At turns hilarious and inspiring, Living With a Seal ultimately shows you the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone.

SEAL’s Gone and I’m Depressed

Would you listen to Living with a SEAL again? Why?

To write down a list of SEAL’s life philosophy statements. I was always listening during my evening runs (if you could call it running compared to Jesse and SEAL) so I didn’t have a chance to jot them down.

What does Jesse Itzler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jesse’s tone and inflection brought the story to life. Since it’s his own story he really knew how to tell it with flourish. I loved his NY accent! He made me want to know more about himself, Sarah and SEAL. Don’t tell SEAL I googled them (like the window contractor)!

Any additional comments?

As a former military guy I could relate to people like SEAL. I was sad to see him go after 31 days. This is one of the most interesting books I’ve read/listened to lately.

Absolute classic

Before you read or listen to this book you need to listen to David Goggins “Can’t Hurt me”. Makes this book that much more special.

more than a brick in the wall

I found the time to listen to this audio book just like Jesse was finding time for pushups. I can foresee filling my time with more worthwhile activities that are going to keep me going, keep me improving, building on success. this isn't another brick in the wall, it's a brick on the path, the path to a better tomorrow.

Shake it up, routine will kill you

I’ve been about growth and change for years...that being said, this book is about challenging yourself at a level I never before considered. While I’m not interested in achieving 1000 push-ups a day, I do have things I’ve thought about doing and mostly pushed aside with a, “I’ll do that tomorrow” attitude. The only easy day was yesterday. Today I’m off to do some hard stuff.

Guaranteed , you will listen to it often!

Where does Living with a SEAL rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I listen to Living with a Seal at least once if not twice a month or more!

What does Jesse Itzler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jesse brings his amazing attitude.
I find myself actually "reading" the book while at the same time listening to it, so it's like Jesse's reading it to me! With that the words seem to "Come Alive"

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The 40% RULE!!

Motivational fun!

This is a great book if you want something that is going to motivate you to kick some butt and at the same time entertain. Many motivational books lean towards one or the other but this one does a great job of both.
