Cant Hurt Me: Conquer Your Fears and Achieve Unparalleled Success

Edward Dickenson: This book by David Goggins provides a wealth of motivational stories, and I imagine that every reader will find some part of the book that speaks to him/her in a meaningful way. In places, the book is a little uneven, and the chronology of events and experiences skips around a bit. Although the order of events may, at times, be slightly confusing, the message behind the events is crystal clear. David Goggins is one tough fellow, and anyone who would sign up for a third Hell Week in order to become a Navy Seal has a level of mental and physical fortitude that is nearly beyond the range of comprehension. The message of the book that is so powerful is that hard work and a never-say-die attitude can overcome so many of life's problems. With full mental and physical commitment, you can move toward your goals in a way that is both uncommon and inspiring to others. Goggins did not succeed the first time he went into BUD/S training nor the first time he tried to set the pull-up world record...or the second, but he did not give up or give in to crushing doubt. I was going through a challenging time in my life when I read this book, and it gave me the push I needed to keep moving forward....

Craig chisholm: This book needs to be read by everyone. It will give you straight forward, no crap advice on how to grip your life by the scuff of the neck and run with it. Your only limitation in life is your own self.

Dmitriy Dokshin: This book helped me to find right words to an important conclusion. All insecurity and depression in my life come from the moments when I gave up. And it works the other way around. All security and motivation come from the moments when I didn’t. Not all of these moments are related to being hard, but all of them are about making something possible when the first thought was that it is not. Anyway, I love the idea of staying hard. It is true and simple. Thanks to Mr Goggins for proving it by example.

Luca: We always impose too many limits on ourselves. We always tend to be too kind MIand forgiving. In this way, one can never understand how capable they are. This book changes you for the better, makes you accountable for what you do. It helped me. Thanks Goggins for sharing your life. STAY HARD

ghechi: "Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds" is an incredibly inspiring and motivating book that left a lasting impact on me. David Goggins' life story is nothing short of extraordinary, and his ability to overcome immense challenges is truly awe-inspiring.

The raw honesty with which Goggins shares his personal struggles and vulnerabilities is commendable. His journey from a difficult childhood to becoming a Navy SEAL and an ultra-endurance athlete is filled with lessons that anyone can apply to their own life. The book encourages readers to push beyond their perceived limits and take control of their minds to achieve greatness.

I appreciated the "Challenge" sections at the end of each chapter, which provided practical exercises to implement the principles discussed in the book. These challenges helped me apply the concepts to my life, and they were a valuable addition to the overall reading experience.

However, I must mention that at times, the book felt repetitive, with Goggins reiterating some of his achievements and struggles multiple times. While his determination and relentlessness are essential aspects of his story, a more concise narrative would...

LIMA CHARLIE - Loud and ClearLIMA CHARLIE - Loud and Clear: Feedback für David Goggins - Can’t hurt me 2018

David Goggins hat eine der bemerkenswertesten und am meisten inspirierenden Geschichten zu bieten, die ich von einer einzelnen Person je gehört habe.

Zurecht trägt der ehemalige Navy SEAL und Ultratriathlet, den Titel “toughest man alive”. Ganz nebenbei inspiriert er durch seine sture und authentische Art und Weise Millionen von Menschen.

Bevor wir in die Buchkritik eintauchen, möchte ich euch noch ein paar Eckdaten zu ihm geben:

- 47 Jahre alt (Baujahr 1975)
- schwierige Kindheit wäre noch untertrieben
- gewalttätiger Vater auf psychischer und physischer Ebene
- floh später mit der Mutter in eine kleine Stadt namens Brazil, in der Nähe von Indianapolis im Bundesstaat Indiana
- der Ku-Klux-Klan marschierte in seiner Kindheit noch durch die Straßen
- rassistische Anfeindungen gehörten zur Tagesordnung

Das erste Mal bekam er sein Leben in den Griff, als er der Air Force beitrat. Dort versuchte er das Auswahlverfahren zum Parajumper (PJ), doch scheiterte . Offiziell aus medizinischen Gründen, doch inoffiziell gab er auf, weil er Angst vor dem Wasser hatte und diesen...

TabithaTabitha: “What is to give light
  must endure burning” – Viktor Frankl         

David Goggins is supposed to end up as a statistic, let alone write this book. He had everything going against him...born as an African American kid, poverty, domestic abuse, bullied at school, a stutter and he also had a severe learning disability. He was all set to end up in a job, spraying for cockroaches at night and earning $1000 per month. He was pretty much resigned to this way of life, plonking on the couch, stuffing himself with junk food and being an overweight man...but destiny had something else planned for him.       

In this no-holds-barred memoir, CAN’T HURT ME, David Goggins takes us through his traumatic childhood, being abused by his father physically, being taunted by his school friends in Mexico and racism that he had to go through as a kid. Given the hard childhood he went through; it wouldn’t be surprising if he had ended up in a prison for drugs or any other crime as a juvenile. Luckily, David didn’t tread that path and the rest is history...

The day that changed his life for the better: The day he...

M. G Watson: I see no reason to write an overly detailed review of this book. Others have beaten me to the punch. So I'll give you a quick overview and then add my reasons for why I think many people need to read this, and why even those who don't might find it quite useful in their own lives.

David Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL who is legendary for his determination, will-power and ability to edure pain. Now, before you throw up your hands, adopt an English accent, and exclaim, "Och, not another bloody book by a bloody SEAL!" let me assure you that CAN'T HURT ME is most definitely n o t like all the others you may have read. The Chris Kyles and Marcus Lattrells and what-not were telling war stories and to some extent, making extended commercials for their own branch of the military. Goggins is not. In fact, when it comes to his deployed-in-a-war-zone days, he doesn't write enough to fill out a paragraph, much less a page. He talks about his military training extensively, but only with the larger focus of the book in mind. Which is as follows.

Goggins grew up in an abusive family. His dad was a physically and emotionally abusive hustler who treated him like a slave. He ended up...
