This book by Norman Dixon came up once on Andrew Huberman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Jocko Willink. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“There's a really good book and I ended up doing about four podcasts on this book, which is called The Psychology of Military Incompetence.”— Jocko Willink
The guest here is Jocko Willink: Retired Navy SEAL who commanded Task Unit Bruiser in Ramadi, Iraq. Bestselling author on leadership (Extreme Ownership), host of the Jocko Podcast, and founder of multiple businesses including Echelon Front and Origin USA. Navy SEAL leader Jocko Willink and Andrew Huberman map resilience, identity, energy, and detachment onto both combat experience and neuroscience.
