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.

I’ve listened to David Goggins on countless podcasts and videos but this book went even deeper. Truly makes you question how you’re living, your potential and encourages you to go out and pursue it. BRILLIANT!

I have waited for months to listen this book as David is so inspiring.. when I watched David's Podcast, I started running more than 100km/week and 500 push ups/ day.. his words penetrate through skull and activate pain tolarance neurons in the brain.. Once you listen to this guy for few months in loop.. you will not be the same person as before.. that's for sure..
And it's finally release, I was excited and started listening.. down the line I realize, David is not narrating this book.. n I was like.. why? why?
No doubt book is great, message he tries to tell audience that how he conquer odds by simply hard work, repeatation and inhuman pain tolarance.. is one of the kind.. but it would have been awesome If David would have narrated story..
Thank you David for the inspiration..

One of the best book that I listened

This is not a book, this is a mindset, a way of life that I have been looking for a very long time! I've heard most of what is in this book before, the difference with this book is the delivery, it's simple, honest and brutal! I wish I would have been able to read this book when I was growing up, I think this book should be read by every 16 year old male to show him that anything is possible! A message that reaches you!

What I've been looking for!

This is a fascinating story and although the vast majority of us would not push ourselves quite to the limits of Mr Goggings, it certainly reminds us that we are all capable of much more.
It certainly has given me the drive to learn more, work harder and to test myself physically..
A recommended read for everyone.

Definitely Inspiring
