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.

Editor reviews

David Goggins, now widely known as America’s Fittest (Real) Man, did not have an easy road to success. Born into poverty, Goggins’s childhood was rife with abuse, neglect and prejudice; as he grew older, he developed depression. But with great dedication and perseverance, Goggins was able to achieve a series of feats. Among them? Becoming the only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, an Army Ranger and an Air Force Tactical Air Controller.

In this awe-inspiring story, Goggins shares how he learned to overcome the obstacles in his life to reach his full potential. It’s a riveting tale full of heart that will not only inspire you, but provide you with the skills you need to face any challenge head-on, as Goggins encourages listeners to push past their limitations and tap into 100% of their capabilities. Paired with commentary from journalist Adam Skolnik, Goggins narrates his own words in a way that’s genuine and truly motivational.

Read this again and again

This is an incredible book that many will listen to or read and not properly understand. It’s difficult to comprehend everything that Goggins went through but I think this book depicts this brilliantly.

The Only Self-improvement Book You Need

Goggins' story is something else. From zero to a literal hero by just harnessing his mental power. This ain't no superhuman BS, but something each and everyone of us can do. The techniques David talks about and the mindset that allows you to put 110% into everything you do can help you maximize your life satisfaction. The challenges at the end of each chapter help you get started on your road of transformation. The "podcast" pieces brought additional stories and a more humane touch to the book - loved it!
I am so happy I listened through this book! Thank you David and Adam for this incredible book!

I could give it 6 stars

The story borderline crazy BUT super powerful. Every time I find myself struggling with whatever in front of me I have a picture of Goggin pushing through the pain, torn muscles, a hole in the heart... a virtual accountability mirror appears and my doubts dissipate.
It will be a MUST for my son (early-teen) to read/ listen to in a few years though due to the use of strong cursing language.
Highly recommend!

Unreal

What a book and what a man. This book combined a biography with a how-to get better guide.

I don’t do reviews but.....

I don’t do reviews, but this is the most motivating.... no.... life-changing book I’ve found thus far on Audible and otherwise.

An inspiring book that would have been incredible without the final 3 minutes.

But, by taking the book to the very end, I really don’t think I will ever waste another single hour of my life again.

Thank you Goggins and Skolnick!

Punchy, Gritty and Real.

I loved this book it was like reading the story of a true action hero. A person who came from a desperately evil beginning and endured so many difficulties and punished his body and put it through hell to nearly dying to become someone superhuman and realising there is something more profound & beautiful inside us all.

It is a very moving story and it had me in tears at many points in the book.
It makes me want to be more than I am too and showed me how easy it is to take the comfortable route than to challenge yourself and tred the unknown path which would reveal so much more and bring many more rewards.
