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.

I was a little disappointed at first that Goggins wasn't going to be narrating, but that changed almost instantly. Loved the format, loved the extra conversation between chapters, so happy I decided to go with the audible version first. I'll be buying a hard copy in the future

Absolutely loved this book

If you had planned to read one book this year, make it this one. It will help you give up all of your excuses and made up reasons for not giving your absolute best every single day. I'm in absolute awe of everything that Mr. Goggins has been able to accomplish after listening to his life's story, and I plan to follow his advice for the rest of my life. Well done!

Wow!
