What is it with business media fawning over SEALs? It has nonstop SEAL articles.
The articles all suffer from the same problem: they tell you the results, implying that reading about them will get you the results, at least partly.
If that were the case, SEALs would just read these articles. They don't because reading the articles doesn't get you results. Training does. It's like expecting to get strong by reading about lifting weights.
People who want the results would do better by training. You don't have to train like a SEAL to get helpful results in business, but you need to do more than just read.
