No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy Seal by Mark Owen
Navy Seal Motto: The only easy day was yesterday.
If Mark Owen is no hero, then the editors of Wildcatters Network apparently don’t know the definition of HERO. Owen’s first book, No Easy Day: the Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden, was an instant New York Times Bestseller. His follow up book, No Hero, explores the trials and tribulations of becoming a Navy SEAL.
Owen spent 13 years as a Navy SEAL and eventually earned a spot on the coveted special operations group SEAL Team Six. Owen shares personal experiences, both on the battlefield and on the training grounds, that helped him become the man he is today. Instead of merely focusing upon his successes, Owen explores in depth his failures and how he worked to improve himself.
The reoccurring theme throughout the book is the importance of the team instead of the individual. This message should serve Wildcatters well in both their business and their personal lives.
“I watched as the instructors corrected a SEAL and ordered him to do ten push-ups as punishment. As soon as the SEAL started, his buddies hit the floor too.”
-Mark Owen from No Hero
