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

3.0

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.
