Jocko Willink and Leif Babin are U.S. Navy seals who were leaders of a Seal task unit of a seemingly impossible mission in the Iraq war. Their mission was to secure the city of Ramadi that had become overrun by insurgents and considered one of the most violent battlefields. In their book “Extreme Ownership” they outline their story and the leadership lessons they learnt.

As we are our own greatest leaders in life - if we wish to lead our lives to success we have to take extreme ownership of our life. These principles are beneficial to us all.

“wisdom isn’t a body of information. It’s the moral quality of knowing what you don’t know and figuring out a way to handle your ignorance, uncertainty, and limitation.” David Brooks

This books studies and shares insights into what builds solid character. As David suggests this book is less about creating resume virtues and more so about creating eulogy virtues. The legacy of one’s life will be praised and remembered not for their successes but more so for their character. This book is not written to inspire and highlight success strategies, it is written for the fundamental purpose to inspire and highlight why character is paramount.

Loretta Graziano Breuning is founder of the Inner Mammal Institute, which helps people manage the ups and downs of their mammal brain. She learned that our happy brain chemicals swing up and down because they have a job to do. When you know what they do in animals, you can make peace with your inner mammal. You can wire yourself to enjoy more happy chemicals and relieve more unhappy chemicals

Breuning is the author of Habits of a Happy Brain that I have read and reviewed here and also a past guest episode 21 - here.

I decided to speak with Loretta again to discuss the happy chemicals as it relates to happiness. What I discovered was that we are hard-wired to survive not hard wired to be happy. We revisit the happy chemicals as to why they exist and than dig deeper discussing self-discipline vs self-denial, ever expanding needs and how to balance the peaks and troughs, what is good and bad, cravings, choice and free will. Beautiful conversation.
