NAVY SEAL Secrets, The Benefits of Meditation - Mark Divine

Mark Divine is a former United States Navy SEAL. He is the founder of the Divine SEAL training system, which focuses on getting people to their goals in life by focusing on the journey, not the destination.

Mark's story began when he was just 14 years old. He had already been taking martial arts since he was 7 years old and had started training in karate and tae kwon do at a young age. He became interested in the world of martial arts because he saw how it could help him achieve his goals in life. He also attended Colgate University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics and competed on the men's swim and crew teams. Divine joined PricewaterhouseCoopers (formerly Coopers & Lybrand) as a senior consultant after graduation, while studying for a Master of Business Administration at New York University Stern School of Business (graduated 1989) to become a Certified Public Accountant. Divine began a parallel journey into zen meditation and Seido karate under the instruction of Grandmaster Tadashi Nakamura, where he chose to shift tracks and seek a career as a US Navy SEAL Officer. His military career spanned 20 years (1989-2011), during which he led missions in Asia Pacific, Africa, Bahrain, and Iraq. In 2011, he retired with the rank of Commander. He now mainly focuses on helping other people reach their ultimate potential, through programs such as the SEAL fit, or books like “Unbeatable Mind”.
