I read this book in one day. Certainly is interesting.That said, I worry about the message. I agree with his point - to a point. But life isn’t always about just pushing yourself to the point of breakdown. It’s also about acceptance.In the last chapter, he does talk about that. But I still think he has more to go in his journey in life. He’s accomplished a lot and has done a lot of good and I sincerely thank him for his service - but I hope for his own sake he finds true inner peace.Until he doe...

David Goggins made me do it. Seriously, such a breathe of fresh air. Finally a self improvement book from someone who has been there and is living the life he teaches. And in such a straight forward, no bullshit way. Goggins is brutal, real, and incredibly inspiring. Definitely the kinda book I needed going into the new year. Each time I picked up this book I felt his drive and passion and when I put it aside I put that mentality into my own life and got shit done! I also ran more this week than...

“You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.” The words of David Goggins resonate with me on a level that I cannot quite describe. I understand what it is to watch people suffer and fail because they did not believe in themselves. I understand what it is to watch people waste their lives and fuck up time and time again. I will not walk that path.Motivation is not enough to pull us through. It comes and goes, like th

Fascinating man who overcame a lot (to put it lightly) to achieve insane physical feats. However, I cannot abide by his extreme mentality and largely found his approach to be awful advice to live by. I struggled to get through this book. Pushing himself to the point of kidney failure, stroke, broken bones, extreme pain and suffering, is Goggin’s way of proving that he’s “a hard motherfucker” and the ultimate “uncommon among the uncommon”. That’s great and all, but there is chapter after repetiti...

A gripping memoir, and I LOVE it when authors swear up and down like they would in conversation, but I suppose we can give Adam Skolnick credit for preserving that authenticity in the voice.I'm not down with the philosophy, though. This is the story of an elite athlete and a man who has tempered his mind to endure extreme pain, but it read like a horror story or cautionary tale to me. I don't want to do those things, be like that, think like that, and I sure don't want to be in a relationship wi...

Warning: I think I missed something and, as a result, this review will not be popular.I appreciate the fact this book recharged me. It forced me to take a look around and realize where I am taking short cuts. For that, I am grateful for the individual stories of grit and determination.However, I started this book expecting, as the publisher promised, "...a path that anyone can follow to...reach their full potential." When I finished, I found that the book was only one dimensional. The stories de...

"The Can't Hurt Me" mentality!"From the time you take birth, you become eligible to die... You also become eligible to become a warrior. I hope you are ready! It's time to go to war!!"Can't Hurt Me is all about, as the subtitle of the book states, mastering the mind and defying the odds. This book is the inspiring story of David Goggins - his struggle during childhood, hardwork and perseverance to become a Navy Seal and Army Ranger, faith and belief in himself while overcoming severe health chal...

Roger that. Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds is powerful. David Goggins is a former veteran, a Navy SEAL, and an army ranger, who overcame many obstacles in life and is now known for his incredible athleticism, competing in endurance events worldwide. He shares his life story in unapologetic detail and I was hooked. Goggins had to endure a hellish childhood with an abusive father. He witnessed awful things at such a young age. After school, he joined the military, holding many i...

Do you have a 5k run or a marathon that you want to run?Are you overweight, obese and trying to lose weight?It can be done but it’s not easy!If you think you’re a badass, I’m pretty sure you’re not David Goggins badass!I did a buddy read with my husband for Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds.We’re trying to eliminate the excuses for being lazy and not working out during the day.Well, this book did the trick! After listening to the audiobook, I can now admit that I am a soft bitch

Amazing life story. I've been soaking up all I can about David Goggins since I first saw him on Joe Rogan in August 2018. The audiobook is great: part book, part podcast... There are some extra stories in the audio version that are not in the printed book, which comes out on Dec. 4.Thank you, David!

OH MY GOSH!!! DAMN. This book was such an unexpected treasure and I am shocked it does not have more ratings. Guys, you need to read this book. It was one of the best books I have ever read. I would recommend giving the audiobook a try. It is part audiobook and part podcast. In between chapters, Goggins actually gives new insight and commentaries on his extraordinary life.Goggins was not meant to amount to much. He was supposed to become another statistic. Instead, through sheer work ethic and w...

Pain =/= gain.This book is only about pushing past pain, taking pain meds, and constantly being in unbelievably stupid situations purely because he thinks "Pain" = gain.There are multiple times where if others were not around to save him, he would have died.I gave the first 25% of the book a benefit of the doubt that Goggins would get smarter, but as the book and his life progressed what you're reading is a story about someone who is never prepared, and always just pushing through pain even to h...

I'm of two minds about this book. On the one hand, it's an inspiring story of a man who has overcome a lifetime of struggle and proved that you can do anything if you're willing to push yourself. In the first half of the book especially this was a message that resonated with me and made me think about David Goggins as a man to look up to. On the other hand, it's a cautionary tale of a man who is so stubborn he can not learn from his past mistakes. He is constantly going into situations underprep...
