It's a gripping memoir married to an intense self-help book. It is the epitome of a "knuckle dragger" rising above the hand he was dealt in life. The book was entertaining at times as Goggins accounts for having to overcome an upbringing of trauma to achieve some insane physical feats. However, I cannot abide by his extreme mentality and largely found his approach to be awful advice to live by at times. Goggins' story is seemingly ignorant of PTSD and other mental health conditions. He is drawn to pain and pushes himself to excel in painful physical and mental situations. It is both an inspiring story of a man who has overcome a lifetime of struggle, and on the other head, it is a cautionary tale of a man who is so stubborn he cannot learn from his past mistakes. He seems to always be trying to prove something to himself and encourages readers to do the same.

It is a very intense read/listen, I will definitely come back to this book but I wasn’t able to stick with it this time.
