About this listen

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.

Jacked on Accountability!!

Too much to say so I'll keep it brief. With his no holds barred, no excuse approach, Goggins helps the listener get in touch with the process of personal accountability. No one else to blame, no one else to come to the rescue. When I face unpleasant but necessary tasks I "Get my Goggins on" and push hard! Great stuff, I'm 59 but it's never too late to add some of his philosophy to my repertoire!! Thanks David!

are you a soft soul looking to harden up?

this book is transforming my life as we speak.

this book is for you if you want to face your weaknesses and discover how to unleash the strength of your greatest weapon; your mind.

not for sensitive people who are easily offended by vulgar language.

second time listening was still captivating and inspiring.

i am about to do it a third time.

ive listened to a bunch of woowoo law of attraction books, but those are useless if you dont apply whats in this book.

do what is taught in this book and your life will transorm

infectious, inspiring.

Exactly what I needed

I've been struggling with myself for a long time searching for "happiness" by chasing quick fixes... ie parties, socializing, movies, and generally trying to escape reality. Reality always comes back, and I'm worse off than I was before. This book made me realize I had everything backwards, and that I needed discipline to find my worth through struggle. After a number of losses in my life I forgot how to put in work. I was sorry for myself, and I kept saying it's enough that I survived. However, I was still feeling terrible and that's because I got soft. I lost the will to do the work and endure the pain that would get me where I really wanted to be and beyond. David Goggins' story reinvigorated my drive to reach my potential and put in hard work no matter what it is instead of trying to escape.

very engaging

this was the first book I listened to on Audible. though I think Goggens is crazy and there is a bunch of his message that should be chicked over your shoulder, it is extremely motivating. I entered a race and rode from Banff to Mexico on a mt bike.

Changed my perspective.

David Goggins is an American hero and patriot. I have never heard such an awe inspiring message from anyone in my life. This will be and continue to be a lifelong favourite and inspiration to me in the days and weeks and years to come. Stay Hard.

Motivating/Inspiring stuff

Only complaint I have is that it wasn’t long enough! I was upset when it finished. Would have also enjoyed more details about his deployment and military career, but im guessing its something they generally don’t like to discuss in detail. Thanks Goggins!

Amazin, life changing.

I really loved the book. It was my first audio hook ever figured I would try something new in my life and found this book listening to Joe Rogan podcast.. At 24 I fractured my L1 and under went a spinal fusion and since then I have nothing but point fingers and blame everyone for where I am at today.. in 5 years since my Injury nothing has motivated and put me in my place more then this story and what he has accomplished. The person reading it made it fun and interesting. Highly recommended this to everyone in life.. Thx
