Historical recruitment campaigns to become a Royal Marines Commando drew on a harrowing but intriguing narrative: 99. 9% Need Not Apply. In 2005, only one in a thousand applications for the Royal Marines were successful in reaching the end of training, earning the Coveted Green Beret - a world renowned symbol of excellence. Becoming the 0. 1% is the first-ever diary account of this training regime, charting the odds stacked journey of a 20-year-old recruit and the psychological underpinnings written by him 14 years later. Each week of training is accompanied by lessons on psychological short-comings and performance. It uses real-life and often terrifying experiences to describe to the reader the psychological edge needed to succeed and cultivate a 0. 1% mindset.
Gareth Timmins is a former Royal Marines Commando who has spent time in Iraq, Somalia, Egypt and Afghanistan. Since leaving Afghanistan, he has worked for several ultra-high net-worth individuals in London, whilst providing a physical security and business development consultancy to blue-chip companies in the City of London. Gareth completed his studies in Psychology after six years gaining a Diploma of Higher Education in Psychology and a BSc (Hons) in Forensic Psychology.
