Meet Jocko Willink! He’s the retired Navy SEAL and author behind the best-selling Way of the Warrior Kid book series. While in the Navy SEALS, Jocko learned super important lessons about overcoming challenges. He learned the value of discipline, hard work, self-confidence and doing the right thing. As he and his wife raised their family, he noticed his kids faced some pretty tough challenges themselves. So, he taught them how to use the tools he learned in the SEALS—and they worked!
That’s when he decided to share these universal lessons with kids everywhere and give them the tools to overcome their challenges. From dealing with bullies, getting better grades, eating healthy, having the courage to face their fears and more, the Way of the Warrior Kid series helps kids be smarter, stronger and better.
