Background
Published in September of 2015, Living with a SEAL is a book from rap star “Jesse James” about how he brought a Navy SEAL into his home to be his personal trainer for a month.
My Thoughts
I went into this one pretty cold. My wife said our friends read it together as a couple and they found it to be pretty motivating. After reading it, I was pretty surprised by the recommendation. These friends are pretty straight laced and I’m excited to talk to the about the book.
I work around the military and the kind of stuff in this book is pretty familiar. Lot’s of hype and big-fish stories. I don’t know that I believe a word of it but I was interested enough that I read it all in one night. However, I don’t think I really got anything out of it and I feel like I just watched a reality TV program. I know it’s staged but I still get swept up in the drama.
Recommendation
I wouldn’t read it again.
