The Attributes

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Navy SEAL officer and founder of the SEAL 'MindGym', Rich Diviney reveals the The Attributes that determine success in any area, and how they can be developed and built.

'So much of what I know about trust I learned from Rich Diviney' - Simon Sinek

'Incredible... explains why some people thrive - even when things get hard' - Charles Duhigg

'If you care about getting better, you need to buy this book' - Daniel Coyle

Learn the secret to being your best.

During his twenty years as a Navy officer and SEAL, Rich Diviney was intimately involved in specialised SEAL selection, whittling hundreds of extraordinary candidates down to a handful of elite performers. But Diviney was often surprised by who succeeded. Those with the right skills sometimes failed, while others he had initially dismissed became top performers. Why weren't the most skilful candidates the ones who would succeed best in some of the world's toughest military assignments?

Through years of observation, Diviney cracked the code - beneath obvious skills are a successful recruit's core attributes, the innate traits for a person's performance as an individual and in a team. This book defines these key attributes - including cunning, adaptability, even narcissism - so you can identify and understand your own and those of people around you, helping you perform optimally in all areas of your life.

As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, he spearheaded the creation of a SEAL directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines.

Rich also works with Simon Sinek's organization, Start With WHY.
