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 U.S. 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 this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"David Goggins is a being of pure will and inspiration. Just listening to this guy talk makes you want to run up a mountain. I firmly believe people like him can change the course of the world just by inspiring us to push harder and dig deeper in everything we do. His goal to be 'uncommon amongst uncommon people' is something we can all use to propel ourselves to fulfill our true potential. I'm a better man having met him."
--Joe Rogan, Standup Comedian and Host of the Joe Rogan ExperiencePodcast

"David Goggins lives out every goal, every dream no matter what. PERIOD. He's unstoppable. There's no limit to him because he doesn't live in a comfort zone. His mental and physical capacity are equal. Goggins proves that your body can handle anything if you let your mind keep up. There's no way to stop something or someone that doesn't understand the concept of being beat."
--Marcus Luttrell, Retired Navy SEAL, Author of New York Times Best Seller Lone Survivor

"Modern neuroscience is teaching us that the path to courage and success arrives through embracing pain and fear, not by avoiding them. If ever there was a real-life example of this, it is the story of David Goggins. In his unrelenting pursuit to self-conquer, Goggins taught himself how to tap into that elusive holy grail of human existence: the ability to rewire one's own brain in order to continually do better and actually become better, regardless of feelings, external conditions, or motivational state. Can't Hurt Meis the remarkable description of that journey and the capacity to leverage and better the mind. More importantly, it also teaches you how."
--Andrew D. Huberman, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine

"David Goggins throws the door open on pain, evil, darkness, the worst and yes, the best of humanity, and the strength of the human soul...and that's just in chapter one. If you are looking for a book that will heal, stretch, inspire, and dig into the corners of what it takes to persevere and overcome in a messed-up world, this is your book."
--Taya Kyle, Widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle, Author ofNew York Times Best Seller American Wife

"By the time you finish David Goggins's new book, you'll have kicked your victim mentality in the butt. Where you go from there is entirely up to you--as Goggins makes clear in this entertaining and poignant memoir cum inspirational how-to. As the man with a hole in his heart tells you, there are no excuses in life, only reasons to try harder."
--Jim DeFelice, Author of American Sniper

"David Goggins's book is not the first about overcoming severe hardships to achieve success, but it is certainly one of the most compelling. His story of beating the odds, of achieving athletic greatness, of serving his country and his charities, and of mastering his own destiny will inspire all of us to reach a little higher and give a little more. 'I will never quit' is a tenet of the Navy SEAL ethos, and one that David Goggins applies to everything he does."
--Admiral Eric Olson, U.S. Navy (Retired); Former Commander, United States Special Operations Command; Chairman, Special Operations Warrior Foundation

"I'm inspired that people like this guy exist. Not everyone will live a life like David Goggins, but he is proof that anyone could if given the right headspace within."
--Kelly Slater, Eleven-Time World Champion Surfer

"Guaranteed to galvanize more than a few couch potatoes into action."
-- Kirkus Reviews

5 out of 5 stars
MUST READ if you aspire more from life!
I listened to the audiobook before deciding to order a physical copy. I sort of wished I would have looked carefully and realized this was the “clean” version. Honestly, the curse words give the story a more “raw” feel to it. Idk why people are so put off by the bad language, that is David’s character and he embraces his character instead of trying to please people. Which is one of his points in the book. To stop giving a f** what people think about you, that is why people are so scared to do anything in life because they are too worried about what others are going to think of them. I would recommend reading the book and then listening to the audiobook because you get some commentary from David himself which you won’t find in the physical copy. David DOES NOT expect anyone to follow his path or do the things he’s done, but instead use his words of wisdom to be your OWN hero and apply what you’ve learned to YOUR LIFE and mold into the life YOU WANT. It seems that the people leaving negative comments have obviously missed the point of it all. I 100% recommend this book as it has changed my live indefinitely.

    As an avid reader and self-improvement enthusiast, "Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds - Clean Edition" by David Goggins has undoubtedly been the most transformative book I've ever encountered. From the very first page, Goggins' unfiltered honesty and relentless pursuit of greatness struck a chord deep within me. His journey from a troubled past to becoming a Navy SEAL and an ultra-endurance athlete is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and it motivated me to confront my own limitations and push past my comfort zones.

    What truly sets the clean edition apart is its accessibility to a wider audience, without compromising the book's raw power. Goggins' story of overcoming immense adversity and mental hurdles resonates deeply, and the absence of explicit language only strengthens the impact of his words. Reading his struggles, failures, and ultimate triumphs, I found myself on an emotional rollercoaster, laughing, crying, and cheering him on with each turn of the page. But more importantly, the book empowered me to embrace discomfort, tackle my fears, and cultivate an unbreakable mindset. Thanks to Goggins' candid narrative and practical tools, I now approach challenges with newfound tenacity, and I'm well on my way to achieving goals I once considered impossible. "Can't Hurt Me - Clean Edition" is a true masterpiece that has forever changed my perspective on what's achievable when we harness the power of our minds.

Thank you for all you’ve done Goggins! 💫💯✨💪🚀
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2022
    I found this book to be inspiring and practical for anyone. David Goggins didn’t share his life stories because he wants his readers and listeners to follow his path. Anyone can apply these principles to gain advantage over the parts of their lives they would like to improve. I love how he talks about failure as power into succeeding and being better than we could ever imagine. I love his insights on mind power and I was amazed at what he could do, especially knowing where his path started. The only thing that was a challenge for me was the language on the audiobook so I’m thrilled that there is a clean version. The thing is- it’s just as powerful without the 90% needless swearing, especially the “F” bomb hundreds of times. Most the time, I thought it would be just as powerful without it. So thank you for having a clean version. I felt like the reach will be much further. I wanted to share principles with my children, but struggled with the language myself in the audio. It was fun to hear David and Adam, but I found the swearing hard and distracting from the main points of the book. Before I knew there was a clean version, I planned to order the book and edit it myself so I could share. Thank you for sharing your experiences, David. It’s amazing and has already helped my life. Thank you for having a clean edition.

    I'm fantastic at starting a book and never finishing it. I have 80 of those HD things and get distracted and/bored and quit reading a book and start reading another. It took me awhile as I only read for a bit before bed but I read this book every night until the end. So much of what he writes about, you can associate with to some degree. The lessons and mindset can also be applied to every walk of life.

    If you're thinking about reading this, I highly recommend you do. You will not be disappointed.
