I loved the beginning of this book. The way he describes his upbringing in hell with a physically abusive father caught me and I basically read the first 150 or so pages all in one go because it was captivating and explored a very vulnerable side that probably more than a bunch of people can relate to.
The rest of the book describes a lot of high physical goals that goggins wanted to reach which was not nearly as interesting especially because it felt a bit repetitive…
„I want to go the the SEALs. I am a bad motherfucker so I can do that.“
„I want do participate in a bunch of Ultra Marathons. I am a bad motherfucker so I can do that.“
„I want to do 4000 pull ups in a day. I am a bad motherfucker so I can do that.“
The book definitely can be motivational, but I would have rather seen more of the interpersonal struggles with other people that surely occured than physical problems.

Though no mortal human can aspire to what Goggins has achieved his story was captivating and he succeeded inspiring me to work a little harder and chase goals that don’t yet seem achievable.

Really good semi autobiographical book. Really mediocre self help.
4/5 on the story of David Goggins. It is great seeing the struggle he came from and endured throughout his life and the ways he pushed past that.
2/5 On the self help. I agree almost everyone can unlock more potential from themselves from pushing past mental boundaries. But in Goggin's case, it was always to the extreme and usually detriment to his health.
Overall probably a good read for anyone interested in endurance sports or military stuff.

Read it to get to know his story, not take the advice.
A book worth reading repeatedly. Read it to fundamentally change how you think.
