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.

The story and message of this book is great! However, if the author said “dammmmm Goggins” one more time I would have thrown my phone out of the car window.

Definitely worth the listen and offers a great perspective on how to live each day of your life.

Great message and incredible story

Solid book and story but I could have done without David Goggins humble bragging between each chapter. Didn’t add anything to the story in my opinion.

Good story - didn’t love Interview commentary

Truly inspiring! A lot of times we are attracted to fictional characters whether Marvel or DX who persevered against the odds and Goggins proves that we are all just as capable of being superheroes in our lives and in others. Feels refreshing to hear a story seemingly impossible yet realistic.

One of a kind

Great work on this one David! Enjoyed every single word in this book. Gave me enjoyment hearing you break down and give lessons/challenges for us all. I will definitely be a lot tougher on myself than I have been. Time to build a callous mind!

Amazing Audiobook!
