Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt like you were in a slump, with no motivation or self-discipline? Many people experience this, and some find it extremely hard to get out of the hole they buried themselves in. We are not here to find or chase a life in our short lives. We’re here to build a life that depends on your perspective of everything and how you can control and take control of your mind.
“Can’t Hurt Me” by David Goggins is an autobiography published on November 15, 2018. This book tells how Goggins conquered his hardships to achieve greatness.
Goggins transformed himself from an overweight, depressed young man into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world’s top endurance athletes, all through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work. Goggins was also the only man to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller. He set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him the “hardest man in the world”. Goggins calls this the 40% rule, showing that most of us only tap into 40% of our capabilities. His story paves a path to show that anyone can push past pain and reach their full potential.
Reading this book has not only helped me but also changed the way I look at life. Goggins describes his rough, traumatizing childhood through poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse. This opens the reader’s eyes by showing that there is always a way out, no matter what you’re going through or what you’ve been through.
I love this book, but some people don’t want to go that extra mile and learn how to control their mind, and they’re okay with being mediocre. There is nothing wrong with that. I recommend this book to people willing to go that extra mile in life and looking forward to mastering the mind alongside a mass percentage of self-discipline. You can purchase this book in many ways. The book can be purchased on Amazon in both hardback and paperback. If you don’t like reading, you can also listen to this book on Audible, and the story is read by the author, David Goggins himself.
