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.

You are capable of everything

What I had liked most about the books is about how Goggins is an example of how a person can change their life. If you are person who are thinking about you can't live your dreams or have a different live because X Y Z. Yes, definitely you have to read this book.

I identify with Goggins childhood difficulty, although mine wasn't that harmfull, I am also a person who didn't used my lack of something as an excuse to not have a different life.

The benefits of mastering your mind is very well explained during the reading, so many good examples. Your thoughts/mindset limits your actions always, and I agree with that. Also, being a black person also shows how he overcome more obstacles and still get it the top.

Despite the fact that I agreed with most of the arguments that Goggins talks about, I still think that some parts is to extremely egocentric. For instance, he didn't demonstrate or talk about love and caring of his children or ex-partners. And that is also important in life and also required mastering your mind.

So thankful for the reading.
