Can't Hurt Me is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. David Goggins takes us through his tough upbringing and years battling a victim mentality, until he decided enough was enough. He shares how he remarkably lost 106 pounds in only a few months, as he became obsessed with joining the Navy SEALs. Throughout this unbelievable story, Goggins shows us how to develop a calloused mind, one that stands up to pain & fear and seeks out the uncomfortable. As his career progresses, he goes on to run 100+ mile ultra marathons on a regular basis and beats the worldwide pull-up record in a 24-hour period, demonstrating that we all can achieve feats way beyond the limits we place on ourselves. After hearing Goggins' incredible life story, you will be ready to run through a brick wall!
