Summary & Analysis of Can't Hurt Me By David Goggins

In Can't Hurt Me, David Goggins shares his life experience as a powerful demonstration that personal boundaries can be overcome, no matter how difficult they may seem. His story begins with a childhood marked by abuse, racism and poverty in rural America. With everything stacked against him, he seemed doomed to a life without purpose.

But Goggins decided not to accept that fate. Through a radical transformation based on extreme discipline, unwavering effort and the development of uncommon mental fortitude, he rewrote his story.

He went from being an overweight young man, depressed and with few opportunities, to becoming a reference of self-improvement. He managed to join the most demanding elite corps of the U.S. Armed Forces: Navy SEAL, Army Ranger and Air Force Tactical Controller, something unprecedented. In addition, he has earned worldwide recognition as an endurance athlete and has broken records in extreme physical challenges.

More than an autobiography, this book is an invitation to challenge your own limits and discover what you are truly capable of when you choose not to give up.
