Description
His persona is much "nicer" on TV) In this book, he refers to himself as god-like, on occasion, and goes into detail about how he looks for weaknesses in people and uses them to get what he wants out of them. Yeah, not exactly your typical "hero" mentality, but admittedly, from a psychological point of view, it's a fascinating glimpse at what makes these kind of operatives tick. of our deliveries are made by Royal Mail as we think they give the best service and cover all areas of the UK.

Be the best version of you that you can imagine, and I guarantee that all the rest of it will just fall naturally into place. After 13 years service in the military, with 4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. as the stories themselves were interesting - it was just his constant putting down of other people for their failures whilst not recognising his own that was frustating. The book also talks about him going into the tracking down of children kidnapped and taken abroad by their fathers.For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password. Mostly the fun stuff about the SBS, that was really interesting to learn about considering I really don't have a whole lot of knowledge about the Royal Marines. Seine Geschichte scheint sehr ehrlich aufgearbeitet worden zu sein, inklusive monatelangen Gefängnisaufenthalt. Initially flicking through the book I wondered what the ending of each chapter entitled Leadership Lessons could really do for me in my normal life with my normal job but actually each chapter had so many examples of ways to change your mindset in your own life and use things like anger and upset to energise you in a positive way. In this fascinating, exhilarating and revealing book, Ant speaks about the highs and gut-wrenching lows of his life - from the thrill of passing Special Forces Selection to dealing with the early death of his father and ending up in prison on leaving the military - and draws valuable lessons that we can all use in our daily lives.
A very honest and reflective read from someone who is not afraid to share his learnings in life, both failures and successes. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. In prison, he was thrust into the unknown, cut off from friends and family, isolated with thoughts of failure and dread for his future. This one seemed like it would be good - Ant looks interesting on the TV and as if he had a story to tell. He points out where he went wrong and why, what he could have done differently and tries to turn it into a life lesson that anyone can use in their working or personal lives.
If you think he's right, then this is an interesting book full of life lessons that you can apply every day. About halfway through though it really loses its way and just becomes a long long story about the TV show on a boat, that I never watched or cared about. I admire anyone with the guts to go out and serve their country as I would be scared to do something like that. However, it's now getting a little outdated and I was after an up to date experience inside the SBS with Ants book and I didn't get it. Readers will be surprised and possibly opinions changed once gearing his story from childhood to date.
