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.

Outstanding. David Goggins has changed my life through this book. We are all guilty of getting in our own way and we all have easy access to everything; we're too comfortable and it's about time we changed. This book is no-nonesense- Goggins isn't going to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be alright. We've all got challenges to face and the major challenge is ourselves. Thanks David for the tools required to go about this and thanks for opening my eyes to a brand new me.

This is an awesome and inspiring book that challenges you to break through the imaginary limits you've set for yourself. Learn the techniques and mindset of David Goggins,not to become him, but to discover how you can carve your own path, build resilience, and overcome mediocrity, laziness, and procrastination. You might not agree with everything he says, and that's perfectly fine because we're all different, but you will definitely learn a lot from his experiences. Stay Hard!
