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

2.0

2 out of 5 stars

Eh, this one was one of those books where it felt like the same point was essentially repeated for a few hundred pages. David Goggins' story is one that is unique and facinating, but I don't really think he gave the best advice as he told his story. People do have limits. You can't just push your body mindlessly and suddenly become a star athlete. Injuring yourself because of poor decisions is definitely a possibility. Towards the end of the book he touches on this, but I think there should have been more mention of it.

I also tired of his ego. For example, he said things like: "I was mining for diamonds in the rough like me" and other egotistical comments. Ah well, not too big a deal. I still learned a thing or two from this book and some of Goggins' advice is definitely rock-solid.

If you want to read a book that covers similar topics but in my opinion handles it better, I would recommend Dan Crenshaw's Book "Fortitude".
