User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Do you really want to change?
This will movtivate you off of your recliner to get up and do something with yourself. It won't allow you to make excuses for your actions and will pump you up with a Navy Seal mentatlity.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Some Good, Some Silly, Some Bad
'Unbeatable' contains some good advice, but nothing earth shattering or revolutionary.

Much of the material would have been standard living for a typical American in years past. Unfortunately, due to the trend in society to make everyone think he/she is a victim, it is not that way anymore. For that reason, Schropp's book has some value. He does a good job of laying out the case that one can either be a volunteer ('someone who takes full responsibility for the quality, path and design of his/her life') or a victim.

He also has some good reminders that people need to be willing to fail and learn from that and a few other tidbits that are good.

On the negative side, he uses a pretty pathetic example for the value of conflict. While I agree with much of his commentary about conflict being a good thing (read chapter ten), he cites Michael Moore as someone who is good at using conflict in a positive way. Schropp loses much of his credibility with me on that one. Moore is little more than a loud mouthed demagogue who is very divisive and uses deception and innuendo as some of his main tools.

Also, several of the author's 'evolutions' (exercises) are rather goofy to say the least. Many of them he cites as exercises that will help one with his/her 'romantic partner'. He seems to think that his Seal training qualifies him as a relationship expert. I think it may be a bit presumptuous on his part.

This book is ok. If you are looking for some life changing revelations based upon the secrets of the Navy Seals, this is probably not the book for you.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Beatable, Definitely Beatable
I was sorely disappointed in this book which purports to reveal practical training secrets from the Navy SEALS for everyday application. The author reveals himself to be a foul-mouthed boor masquerading as an enlightened warrior. The writing style is annoying and clumsy and chockful of UPPER CASE words. The exercises are ridiculous, particuarly the ones about revealing your deep dark secrets to your romantic partner and using your romantic partner as a mentor. The author shares that among the many women he had, he married four and, not surprisingly, divorced three. The other practical techniques are obvious and uninspiring.

Skip this self-important tome and check out Release the Warrior Within by Machowicz instead. The same basic material is covered in a far more cohesive, less condescending manner.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Insight...
I read this book in 1 sitting... it's a great motivational tool to take responsibility for your life and quit making excuses. I used this book also as an insight into BUD/S and the Navy SEAL selection experience which I hope to succeed though within a year or so.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Advice from someone who really has been in the jungle
Forget Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, or all those gurus out there of personal improvement .... Jack Schropp is the genuine article. His credentials and reputation speak for him. This is no flash in the pan advice. This is serious life lessons from a man who was a Navy Seal and career military. Schropp knows what it is like to be in a situation when it is literally do or die. How many of the other self-help motivators can attest to combat in war zones and coming out alive? Would you take advice from a fat doctor on losing weight? Or a 6-times divorced woman on love and relationship? Many do and they often don't get the result they want. Schropp has the track record to prove that his is dishing out gold compared to all the fool's gold out there on the self-improvement, performance enhancement market.
