extreme ownership sounds like MTV's version of "this old house"

As a vet myself (twice) I have all due respect to this 'Jocko Willink' and his book however it seems that book writing by Vets is fairly commonplace. I know of three in LaPine who have written books and unfortunately are not doing too well at selling them and a couple have resorted to door to door attempts to familiarize people with them and a giving copies away.

I have copies of these books and have not read them in their entirety and most likely will not as just a few pages in, along with 'skimming' through them pretty much indicates who these books and there content are intended for. I saw an ad for a used copy of 'Extreme ownership' for $ 3.00 so this may be telling as well.

I may be good at some things I do, or have done, however they do not qualify me as a 'philosopher' on life nor would I write a book attempting to equate my experiences and promote them as a guidelines to someone else's life.

This is especially true with military experiences as most vets experienced many different things while 'in' the Military and have differing opinions and memories of them and while they may be of interest to some people, not all will be respected or regarded by others, or the majority.

I picked up a copy awhile back after hearing alot about it, only got about halfway through but haven't finished yet (had several books going at once). I thought the mindset and approach to conducting yourself and dealing with people/problems was generally a good one. I've listened to the podcast off and on too and thought the same thing.
