For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him the Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40 percent of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
An annotated edition of Can't Hurt Me, offering over two hours of bonus content featuring deeper insights and never-before-told stories shared by David. Not available in other formats.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
David Goggins’ life story began with hardship, struggle and poverty, but by sheer work ethic and willpower, he succeeded as a Navy SEAL, endurance athlete and motivational speaker. The personal, raw tone of Can’t Hurt Me sets it apart from most self-help guides. Goggins doesn’t deliver his self-discipline techniques with a cheerleader’s perkiness, but with a toughened veteran’s seen-it-all intensity. Best of all, the audio version of his book features between-chapter bits of Goggins’ hard-won wisdom about life and work; it makes the whole story come across as even more personal and inspirational.
Customer Reviews
Life changing.
This book is truly eye and mind opening, motivating and captivating, the discipline within my own self I have achieved listening to this is second to none. Worth the read.
Privileged
I was so excited for this book, hoping for an insight into some useful mental resilience techniques. How disappointing. Mr Goggins simultaneously makes excuses for his own accountability while devaluing the experiences of others. He refuses to acknowledge his own privileges (to be clear, I am not denying his hardships), yet holds everyone to his own standards based off of personal intrinsic motivation that he assumes applies to everyone (it does not). He projects his own insecurities, expressing disgust towards those who are “soft.” I found this text to be riddled with indirect discrimination, which was surprising considering Mr Goggins himself has been subjected to horrific racist acts. Sexist, disablist, fat phobic, privileged. Would not recommend.
Very good
