Royal Marines take charge of their minds. Once you can take charge of your mind, you can unlock your potential.

The Royal Marines is one of the most-respected 'brands' in our Armed Forces. As an elite force, held at peak readiness for worldwide rapid response to neutralise enemy threats, they are the UK's Commando Force and the Royal Navy's amphibious troops. Deployed globally, often without host nation permission, they are projected from the sea to conduct special operations on land.

This compact handbook is based on the Royal Marines' 14-week training period of lessons that determines whether a new recruit is fit to become a Royal Marine Commando. Looking at the key stages of this training, Think Like a Marine shows how we can adapt the Royal Marine development programme to our everyday lives and learn how to anticipate situations in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Includes advice on how to become fit in mind and body, as well as some invaluable survival techniques that will influence and change your life for the better. Roll your socks so they 'smile', think like an 'ice man', get kit-muster ready for a modern survival trip, sharpen your instincts and think critically are just a few of the subjects covered in this fascinating book.

About the Author

Mark Hardie joined the Royal Marines at 25 and enjoyed many happy and challenging years in Operational Commando units followed by some very hard years where he was responsible for the organisational and ceremonial aspects of Royal Marines killed-in-action. Briefing and supporting the families of the fallen on the most difficult of days is where he truly learnt the meaning of duty and sacrifice. He was awarded an MBE in 2011 for his work supporting casualties. Mark has been involved in training recruits and soldiers to become commandos for operations in the harshest environments. He is Visiting Professor in 'Professional and Public Service Ethics' at Bath Spa University. Mark has learned to be prepared for anything, win through thinking and action and return your marines to a society better than when you took them on operations.
