Publisher's Summary

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.

Editorial reviews

David Goggins, now widely known as America’s Fittest (Real) Man, did not have an easy road to success. Born into poverty, Goggins’s childhood was rife with abuse, neglect and prejudice; as he grew older, he developed depression. But with great dedication and perseverance, Goggins was able to achieve a series of feats. Among them? Becoming the only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, an Army Ranger and an Air Force Tactical Air Controller.

In this awe-inspiring story, Goggins shares how he learned to overcome the obstacles in his life to reach his full potential. It’s a riveting tale full of heart that will not only inspire you, but provide you with the skills you need to face any challenge head-on, as Goggins encourages listeners to push past their limitations and tap into 100% of their capabilities. Paired with commentary from journalist Adam Skolnik, Goggins narrates his own words in a way that’s genuine and truly motivational.

Incredible story of accessing human potential with a sadly disappointing disrespectful women

99% percent of this book is tremendous. This man’s journey and his drive to achieve is unparalleled but the 1% ruins it. I can’t quite believe that there was nobody brave enough to give David the feedback that his expressions of disrespect for women offensive. He either refused to accept the feedback, had no capacity to empathise for readers who may have been subjected to gender disrespect or truly believes that women are a weaker sex.

Awaken the beast inside you!

This book awakens the beast inside you. I am so glad I took the time to listen, I could not believe how much in common I had with the author. A lot resonated with me. Prepping to join the Aussie special forces, I have discovered that I can too callus my mind and become a tough mother flipper! I love the podcast/audio book take, it provided detailed insight into your mind and thought process. Something I highly value. Thank you for sharing, I have recommended this to all my buddies.
