Fight your own battles with Sandhurst’s self-help book. * Telegraph *
Inspirational… Sandhurst helped me to discover my potential. Now discover yours. * Tim Peake, ESA astronaut *
I loved this book. * CHRIS EVANS, The Chris Evans Breakfast Show *
Brilliant, practical advice. Can help transform your mindset and life. * OLLIE OLLERTON, Ex-Special Forces Soldier, star of TV’s SAS: Who Dares Wins, bestselling author of Break Point *
These military men are on to something. Something as simple as making the bed really can change the mood of the day. Starting right increases your chances of tacking the to-do list with a sense of calm if not ease. * INDEPENDENT *
Paul Nanson shows us what works under the most testing conditions […] Nanson’s succinct text is light and portable, […] and will travel far with you. * THE TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT *
I like the concept of Command Time, and the potential for using it to validate any absence from my desk. “I’m taking Command Time!” sounds so much more, well, commanding than muttering, “I’m just nipping out,” so I’m pleased to hear Nanson has more of these appellations up his well-ironed sleeve. * SPECTATOR LIFE *
It’s a fascinating book, full of good old-fashioned common sense […] As the Sandhurst alumni include Winston Churchill and Tim Peake, it’s a game-raiser. * THIS ENGLAND *
This small book succinctly crystallises some quite fundamental concepts, has emotional resonance, and may well be of significant practical value. I strongly recommend it. * WAVELL ROOM *
Sometimes, the pen can still be as mighty as the sword. * DAILY EXPRESS *
