You don’t need to be into ultra distance racing to gain motivation and inspiration from David Goggins and his story. People who speak from real life experiences are the ones worth listening to, especially those who embody everything they preach. Whatever it takes for you to believe that you’re better than good enough to achieve your dreams is what you must do. Listen to the audiobook as it contains exclusive interviews with David Goggins at the end of each chapter.

When you're all fucked up and looking for more, the only tone you should allow inside your hea dis the tone of a warrior. He’s a man who came from a humble and troubled childhood and, through the force of sheer will, forged himself into one of the hardest motherfuckers that’s ever lived.Especially if you intend to thrive in a harsh world where you have to work for everything that matters. I instantly know this is a book I will read again, and again—and that is a truly rare thing to find. After all is said and done, he does in fact complete the race but after this needs surgery and ends up having a botched one at that, thus demolishing his knees for a significant timeframe after that. For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare—poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights.

Every minute you spend feeling sorry for yourself is another minute not getting better, another morning you miss at the gym, another evening wasted without studying. This is an incredible mental hack that helps anybody that's plagued by doubt that they can overcome whatever obstacle is in front of them. I don’t mean to suggest that you must run one hundred or two hundred miles to believe you have what it takes to get where you want to go.You cast him in the shadows and believe that he can be banished for good with more physical pain, with another 100-miler. His commitment to the philosophy of 'achieving your greatness by giving life all you got' through mental toughness and self discipline has been an anchor of inspiration and motivation to millions around the world - myself included. If you want to achieve success, Goggins says, you have to challenge yourself, and prove your own greatness to yourself through those challenges. But I’d say he is solidified in the “Stay Hard” mentality that he portrays on social media and to the outside world and he will continue to push this narrative until his body is completely busted later on in life.

It broadens your concept of your own capability, yet it is the first thing we lose touch with when things go bad. There's got to be someone who demonstrates greatness and makes everyone around them think differently. In Can’t Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us only tap into 40% of our capabilities. Overall, a book I highly recommend if you want to read an inspirational story about a man who has faced many difficulties in life and has come out of it with determination and grit to tell his story.CAN’T HURT ME, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we have, but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. When you are always in the grind, you think there will come a time when the tough road, blitzed with potholes and littered with blown tires, will smooth out, but that is never the case.
