This was actually a good book. I listened to the audio book version and it had a podcast sort of feel to it. There were very emotional parts of this book that I appreciated the author sharing. I love books about ultra marathoners and this had that aspect as well, to my surprise! I liked the positive aspects that Mr. Goggins shared about how he overcame so many obstacles in his life. He does use crass language frequently, which may or may not be necessary, but is obviously a part of who he is. So, it does give the reader an understanding of the author. Overall the book was entertaining and uplifting.

This book was outstanding. A very real and raw story of perseverance. David Goggins has unlocked the mind and knows how to push himself beyond normal limits. Great inspiration and insight.

What amazes me more than what this extraordinary person went through and the immense success he achieved is how nowadays even illiterate people can become bestselling authors.

"You can't hurt me" is a misleading title to an incredible story of a man who has endured every pain imaginable but somehow overcame them all to push past what we all thought was possible. I drew lots of inspiration and encouragement from this story. You always hear that your mind is stronger than your body, well here is a story that proves that to be true. The mind can overcome so many struggles and after reading this book I will strive to make my mind stronger.

"Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds" by David Goggins ...I usually choose literary/contemporary fiction, but the title and book cover made me choose this one. Admittedly, it was a "man's" book, but the first page was good enough for me to read the entire book. The author was amazing in his fortitude and discipline...failing 2 times and finally succeeding at the Navy Seals, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller and participating in 80 100 mile/24 hour marathons. He was born into a highly dysfunctional family and never really spoke much about his family life during his 20 year military career. I was left admiring him but questioning his familial attachments. The book is full of motivational advice that will work in all phases of life.

'Can't Hurt Me' provides a glimpse into the life of David Goggins and his methods for taking control of the role our mind and body play in life. Practical applications available, use when they apply to you.

Got this book only because the title was a catcher. This David Goggins is unbelievable. He tells his life story of overcoming a horrible childhood and teen years through his struggles as an adult. It is so inspiring and simply amazing how a human being can push themselves to the very edges of their capabilities. He talks about his time as a Navy Seal which is so fascinating getting a glimpse into the insane training these guys endure.
I loved the audible version because at the end of each chapter the reader talks to David Goggins about it.
This guy is a machine and never going to settle for anything less giving 120% of himself, no matter what. Even if you aren't going through trying to get into the elite of the military, ultramarathons, pull up records, his story of overcoming all the odds is truly incredible and motivational. Do I agree with all his suggestions? No, but you surely can take a heck of a lot out of this book.

It is indeed an inspiring read. But at times it feels a bit over-stretched in terms of challenges and agony associated with it. Another aspect is the non-universality of what Goggins experienced or learned. His ways are not always valid for people in the creative world. The central moral is great but the way that is applied by Goggins is not suitable for anybody and everybody. A poet or an artist or a scientist functions differently than a NAVY SEAL.
The spirit to do record number of push-ups is not the same as the passion to paint the masterpiece on canvas.

Only read Can’t Hurt Me, which was good especially going through a recovery for a broken leg, but it got really repetitive as these books seem to get. We had different childhoods so it’s hard for me to have the same kind of motivation David had to “take people’s souls” but I see where he’s coming from. Good book for those who hit a tough physical spot in their life and need some motivation to get your head back to a good spot.

I am very fortunate that i stumbled upon this book. It has given me a totally new perspective to life. It has answered lot of lingering questions in my mind about purpose, failure, underachievement,etc. When i reached the last chapter i was hoping it to last longer, because everyday reading this book have me direction and also motivated me. I recommend this book to people who want to lead by example and understand what life is about and why it is the way it is. "Good luck Goggins"

Good points made about attitude and success. Goggins succeeds in physical and psychological accomplishments but fails because his inability to overcome his profound and completely unnecessary profanity imprisons him in the lowest level of society.

So this book is a life changer. I think Mr Goggins is a man who has seen the side beyond human limitations and I think he knows Jesus. He also knows that we are all dark deep within and he knows how to harness that power for good!
A must read!!

I got a lot out of this book. David’s childhood and mine were a lot the same. Reading the book caused me to reflect on my relationships with other people. I have also taken time to reflect on where I’m at in life and appreciate the failures and successes that have gotten me to this point in life.

Great motivational book. I just wonder if his level of motivation is truly healthy for an individual and their relationships. He seems to foccus too much on one thing and in response miss out on the bigger picture of life.

Amazing biography! Good self-work exercises! Lots of profanity. Will listen to again.
Unique delivery of the material by making a podcast-like audiobook.

Intense as expected but also a deep dive into the mindset that takes on pain for self improvement.

A great book to open your mind to the possibilities of your body and your mind, not quitting when the going gets tough and not settling for mediocre

I only read the David Goggins book but I couldn’t find it only on GoodReads. My hubby is a huge fan of David. What an inspiration.

Highly recommend.

This man has a complex story, with lots of highs and lows, and I really hope he doesn't succumb to an act of self harm. Based on the book, it feels like more than a trivial chance, I sure hope not....
