We’ve forgotten how to be quiet. After 20 years in the Navy submarine force, I learned what silence, attention, and self-control can do for a man’s mind. This is about learning to relax, unplug from social media, turn off the constant noise, and put your focus back on your family, your work, and the life right in front of you.
