New York Times best-seller. Over five million copies sold

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him the Fittest (Real) Man in America.

In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40 percent of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

An annotated edition of Can't Hurt Me, offering over two hours of bonus content featuring deeper insights and never-before-told stories shared by David. Not available in other formats.

All stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It provided an amazing story (seriously didn't think stuff like that was possible) and overall good advice.

I'd warn people the first chapter or two are heavy and detailed on child abuse and domestic violence. It adds to the story, but I wish I expected it more.

I think one of the general themes of pushing yourself so hard you get extreme physical injuries isn't the best for one's future health. I saw this as a traumatized, powerless boy who grew into a man addicted to hurting himself through extreme exercise to gain the control/power his father took from his. Perhaps that is not the case, but either way it is an interesting book.

Very enjoyable and extreme

His life story, reflecting his need to be uncommon among uncommon men, proves a person is capable of far more than most of us dream possible. I gave it five stars because it's a high quality production with high value content. Hearing his story makes me believe I can change my story!

Absolute rewire of my brain. I first read this book and couldn't put it down. After finishing I downloaded the audio-book and frequently listen to improve mental toughness. I also enjoy the pod-cast like inserts between chapters with Goggins himself it provides a self reflection / guidance section that I would say has revolutionized the audio-book industry completely.

Insane. Absolutely insane.
Not Goggins, no labels here. but the drive and what we all leave behind on the table. I up and did a 5km run with no breaks after a long time with no cardio exercise. Not a ton to most but a massive milestone for myself. Please listen to this book. It carries the power to change your life today, because you have that power.

Best biography I've ever heard/read
