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 U.S. 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% 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.

Ratings and reviews

Goggins is the only guy who could help me validate my feelings and reasons for where I am in life. he helped establish where I was right and wrong. for years, I have been seeking validation or acceptance, in a constant tumble of depression and hapiness, and Goggins went through those exact same feelings, and I relate. he taught me several things and helped validate some thoughts in my head that I knew were the right path, I just couldn't accept it without someones validation or "same thought" maybe we're not all alone in this world as I imagined. Goggins has managed to pull me through the darkness and to see the light for once. and I've read dozens of self help books, only to realize that nobody has endured Goggins type pain, and thats why every other book sucked. I highly encourage both of his books to be your last self help, or your first self help books, as they dont just help you, they unlock your mind, and they allow it to find freedom in the chaos of the world.

This book is amazing it needs to be read by every men on the planet.It truly is one of the best books I have read in my life.I have been working on improving my skills and training wakeing up 5 am every day .Working on my skills and studying for 12 hours a day 7 days a week.But I see know that I have only been scratching the surface of what I am truly capable of.From today onwards I am going to wake up 4 am everyday and work harder.

Good book about the rise of David Goggins in his career. It details his early life then each chapter is a new adventure like his 100 mi races. It focuses on personal development themes. He's very arrogant but also incredibly inspirational.
