David Goggins’ early years were plagued by a distressing childhood marked by destitution, bias, and physical maltreatment, casting shadows over his days and nights. Nevertheless, through his own determination, mental resilience, and unrelenting effort, Goggins metamorphosed from a despondent, overweight young man with an uncertain future into an emblem of the U.S. Armed Forces and one of the planet’s premier endurance athletes. Holding a unique distinction in history as the sole individual to complete rigorous training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he proceeded to set records in numerous endurance challenges, prompting Outside magazine to crown him as “America’s Most Physically Fit (and Real) Man.”
Within the pages of “Can’t Hurt Me,” Goggins imparts his remarkable life narrative, disclosing that a large portion of our capabilities—up to 60%—typically goes untapped. Goggins dubs this unexplored territory The 40% Rule, and his tale illuminates a course that anyone can pursue to surmount agony, shatter apprehension, and attain their utmost potential.”
