About the book
Jesse Itzler, an entrepreneur and one-time rapper who performed as Jesse Jaymes, felt his life drifting on autopilot. So he hired an unconventional trainer: a Navy SEAL widely considered the toughest man on the planet, who moved in with him for a month of extreme fitness training. Itzler is about as easygoing as a person gets, and his trainer is not. The escapades grow into a friendship, and Itzler gains more than muscle in an account both funny and inspiring about stepping out of a comfort zone. This edition adds two bonus chapters, and the book became a New York Times best seller and a number one Los Angeles Times best seller.

In the non-business category recently, I found Living with a SEAL by Jesse Itzler to be both entertaining and inspiring. It summarizes a month he spent with the former Navy Seal, David Goggins, living in his home.
