Entrepreneur Jesse Itzler chronicles his month of living and extreme fitness training with a Navy SEAL in this New York Times bestseller—now with two bonus chapters.

Jesse Itzler will try almost anything. His life is about being bold and risky. So when Jesse felt himself drifting on autopilot, he hired a rather unconventional trainer to live with him for a month—an accomplished Navy SEAL widely considered to be "the toughest man on the planet"!

Living With a Seal is like a buddy movie if it starred the Fresh Prince of Bel- Air ... and Rambo. Jesse is about as easy-going as you can get. SEAL is ... not. Jesse and SEAL's escapades soon produce a great friendship, and Jesse gains much more than muscle.

At turns hilarious and inspiring, Living With a Seal ultimately shows you the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone.

Critic reviews

It's hilarious—LeBron James
This is 100% Jesse. Do it differently and you get different results. That's the way he has operated his entire life and it has worked beautifully.—Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski, Duke Basketball head coach
Jesse is a risk taker and is always trying different things to get better. Plus, he's fun to go out with.—Tom Brady, New England Patriots, five-time NFL Champion, three-time NFL MVP
Most of us go through life on auto-pilot. New day...same routine. This guy beamed a "live action hero" into his living room for 31 days to shake up his life. Sometimes you have to have the guts to do something radical to get results.—Dolvett Quince, The Biggest Loser
Jesse knows what it takes to succeed in business and in life - a Don't Quit attitude! Our US Military embraces that attitude in training and survival, no one more so than the elite Navy SEALs. When my pal invites SEAL into his world, Jesse's life is never the same again! The relationship between these guys is outrageous - it's like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air meets Rambo! But with all the insanity there are strong life messages, hysterical moments, and great lessons to be learned. Like Jesse, this book is a HIT!—Jake Steinfeld, chairman and founder of Body by Jake
George Foreman once gave me great advice. When I told him my husband ran 100 miles non-stop he said, 'Sara, don't try to understand a man like that. Just love him.'—Sara Blakely, Founder of SPANX, Jesse's wife
"Living With A Navy Seal is funny and compelling with practical wisdom that leaves the reader feeling elevated and empowered. It also deeply impacted my own personal journey to health, fitness and well being."—Senator Cory Booker

This is a fantastic audiobook! When I finished it, two thoughts ran through my mind: 1, “That was epic!” 2, “Bummer, I wish I didn’t finish it so quickly.” Right from the start, I was grabbed and pulled in to the life of ‘living with a seal!’ At times it made me laugh out loud and other times it made me want go for a run. Jesse’s story is incredibly influential and positive, how he managed to carry out the training regime, I don’t know.

Even if you’re not into working out, you will enjoy this audiobook. I enjoyed it that much that when I finished it, I hit play and started listening to it again.

I hope Jesse writes a sequel. After listening to his story, a sequel seems possible.

What an EPIC audiobook!

I really enjoyed listening to this book, basically because I was sitting down while it was on. An entertaining tale.

Not war and peace but worth a read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. This book kept me listening beyond my usual travel to and from work - I was late a few times as I sat laughing or finishing a chapter in the car.

What did you like best about this story?

The unpredictable storyline - and insight into another world where belief carries you through and rules are there to be pushed

Have you listened to any of Jesse Itzler’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not listened to any

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I bought this having been thoroughly entertained by Goggins' Can't Hurt Me. I had also heard Jesse Itzler mention anecdotes from his time with "Seal" on Joe Rogan's show. As funny as those stories were, the book is hilarious and I learned a lot about how to live from it.

Like many, I live in comfort and strive to enjoy pleasures of life. It has made me weak, and Jesse's stories about his time with Seal are like a giant kick in the ass to wake up and really go after it in life.

Jesse's delivery is great and, being the author, really sincere. One of the best Audible books I've purchased.

Entertaining and insightful
