David Goggins’ childhood was a living hell. Prejudice, discrimination, and physical abuse haunted him every day. But through practicing self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, he was able to transform himself from a depressed, overweight young man without a future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world’s top endurance athletes. He was the only man in America’s history to complete training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller—and he went on to set records in almost sixty endurance events which inspired Outside Magazine to name him as “The Fittest (Real) Man in America.”

Can’t Hurt Me shares Goggins astounding life story which reveals that we only tap into 40% of our potential. Goggins calls this the 40 Percent Rule and his story sheds light into a path that we can all follow—pushing past pain and fear in order to reach our full potential.

BOOK OVERVIEW

Do you know who you are and what you are capable of doing? So many people believe they do. But believing so doesn’t mean it is so. Comfort zones are defined by the word, no. And yet, there is comfort in saying no and continuing on in blissful ignorance of what we’re capable of.

The author used to think this way. Growing up wasn’t exactly blissful for him; there are so few people who really know how it feels like to be in the bottom, and he does. It’s so easy to stay stuck in the bottom—continuing on with the same bad choices, again and again, it almost seems natural.

Motivation, pep talks, self-help—they’re all temporary fixes but they don’t truly change who you are. No one else can change you and help you fix your own life. So, he decided to transform himself by seeking pain.

Your childhood may have been easier than his and you probably have a good, comfortable life now. But despite this, you’re still probably not living out your true potential. We have so many good things more than we realize and accept.

David Goggins was invited to be on a panel at MIT, despite not even graduating high school. But here he was, talking about mental toughness. One of the speakers talked about people being limited by their genetics—that some people simply can’t despite having mental toughness. This seemed commonplace knowledge to others especially because the speaker had research on mental toughness, but Goggins didn’t believe in this crap.

Someone from the audience saw his expression and asked him how he felt. He wasn’t saying much prior to this but when he was asked, he gave his answer.
