Can’t Hurt Me

Date: 2023-09-27

Book Author: David Goggins

This is not a book you read — it’s one you grit your teeth through. David Goggins’ story is brutal: abuse, poverty, obesity, Navy SEAL training, ultramarathons, and injuries most of us would never walk through — let alone run in. His central idea? You’re only tapping into 40% of your potential. The rest lives on the other side of pain.

💡 What Goggins Teaches: • Callous your mind the way you callous your hands — through reps. • Suffering can be fuel — if you control the narrative. • Motivation fades. Discipline doesn’t.

❤️ What I Admired: • It’s raw. No ghostwritten polish. • The audio version includes podcast-style commentary — highly recommended. • Made me want to get up and run. Or at least stop making excuses.

🤔 What's Intense: • Extremely aggressive tone — may not work for everyone. • Doesn’t offer a middle ground — it's all or nothing.

📈 Verdict: If you need tough love from someone who’s walked through hell — this book delivers. More than motivation. It’s mental reprogramming.

Rating: 4.5/5
