Can’t Hurt Me

Have you found yourself lacking in motivation lately? If so, this is the book to read to kick you back into gear to pursue whatever it is that you’d like to accomplish. In Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins, a decorated military man, shows us that the battle starts in the mind.

​

The first pages of this book kept me wanting more as Goggins takes us on a trip to his early childhood--one with an abusive father and a mother who tried her best to give her children a good life despite the abusive circumstances in which they found themselves.

​

As a reader, getting a glimpse into Goggins’ early life is crucial, as it makes his accomplishments all the more admirable. Goggins’ story motivates us to use our past hurts as fuel to our success, not cessation. He shows us that we can accomplish anything if we solidify in our minds that better awaits us and resolve that nothing can stop us, not even our bodies!

​

While in Goggins’ case his objective was to achieve athletic excellence, this is a must-read for anyone who has a goal they want to accomplish but finds themself needing that extra motivational kick.
