Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

David Goggins overcame a difficult childhood marked by poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse. Through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, he transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and world-class endurance athlete. He is the only person in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, and has set records in numerous endurance events. Outside magazine named him "The Fittest (Real) Man in America." In Can't Hurt Me, Goggins recounts his life story and introduces The 40% Rule—his observation that most people use only 40% of their actual capabilities. Through his experiences, he outlines an approach that readers can apply to overcome pain, confront fear, and access their full potential.
