Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds
by David Goggins
Prose/Readability: 5

Interesting Content: 5

Comments:
I really didn’t want to like this book. A good friend of mine bangs on about it ALL THE TIME and I wanted to read it and tell him it was cheesy self help tosh.
Within the first few pages I thought “wow, this is pretty gripping”. After a few more pages I though “ah shit, this might actually be a really great book”. By the end I’ve had to admit that this is one of the most compelling, page-turning non-fiction books I’ve ever read.
Props to both Dave Goggins and Adam Skolnick for the amazingly raw way it’s written. Skolnick captures Goggin’s voice so brilliantly and yet clearly knows how to translate it into compelling prose.
There were many things in Goggin’s philosophy that I disagree with and I personally don’t want to aspire to be like him, but many of the lessons from his stories are so inspiring. It’s already shifted my views on many aspects of my life and has changed how I exercise.
Summary:
A tour de force of a book and of a man. Guaranteed to blow you away, and it may just change your life.
