I may be underqualified to vouch for the validity of this book based on a lack of life experience, but I found it to be a good read.
When I first read about it, my initial reaction was much the same as NG M4 Shooter's...might as well just use the Search button. As reviews started pouring in, paired with descriptions, I realized that sentiment might be false so decided to spend the $20 and give the book a try.
It starts out with things you can Doogle, a brief description of what SF is and the training pipeline. After this, it moves on to an analysis of "why people fail," which I thought was a pretty cool chapter not only for listing WHY but HOW to avoid those. Some of that you could find with a Search button, others (e.g. how to maximize chances at the board, should you have to face it) you couldn't.
It goes on to a pretty detailed description of foot care, beyond "powder and drive on." Logically following that is a chapter on boot selection and maintenance, to include how to lace (well...your options doing so) and break them in, which I suppose is easier to learn from a book by trial and error.
PT chapter is next, followed by chapters on family and mentors. The last third or so of the book is a bunch of appendices to the first two thirds.
I thought it was a pretty quick, easy read with a lot of little pointers that could significantly improve one's quality of life while going through lots of training, besides the various phases of the SFQC.
