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

4.5

inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

---

Honestly I was skeptical when I started reading it because it felt like one of those motivational books that don't really add any value. But I have to say that what made it different and better for me was first, that his story is very difficult and his beginning of life reminded me of people's in my own family. Second, I really liked the fact that it didn't feel like luck was a big part of his success. Third, in his story, it doesn't feel like he was chasing money. It's really inspiring to have for once a book where the person's end goal isn't creating a business or making a ton of money but actually being the best version of himself and helping people. It's really a book that can inspire everyone, because he makes sure to uplift and include anyone no matter your gender, race, job, social class... Anyway I really thought I would be rolling my eyes at every pages but I just ended up gaining a lot of respect for him and I will be recommending this book to people.
