Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

There's no doubt that David Goggins is a certified badass, and this book is not for the faint of heart lol. This book goes into the details of his life from childhood to present. It was difficult to put down and there was not a single boring chapter. The audio book also includes a "podcast" throughout which is cool to hear David elaborate on things not included in the book. I gave this book 4/5 stars because although it includes an amazing story and key takeaways to apply to your own life, I disagree with most of chapter 8. I think being successful and productive is a major aspect of life, but I do believe there is more to life than just that. Taking the time to chat with friends or hang out and spend time with family is a vital aspect in my opinion. Maximizing your time 24/7 to be productive does not allow people to enjoy certain meaningful parts of life. Overall it's a great book with lots of great advice and inspiration.

Mind Challenged

David Goggins is beyond remarkable. I know I will think often of his words, victories, and experiences as life challenges me in months and years to come.

I think that me taking over a year to finish this book speaks to the fact that it did not motivate me. I admire David for the work that he put into himself and the hardships that he overcame but by no means was this book what I was expecting. This book was a life story of a guy who pushed himself too far and broke his body in the process because he wouldn’t let literal broken bones prevent him from achieving his goals. So yea master your mind but sacrifice your body. Glad I finished it but also glad I’m finally done.
