Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins. Hope you enjoy! David Goggins is a former Navy SEAL (and Army Ranger) who used to hold a Guinness World Record for completing 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours. These days he's setting records as an ultra-endurance athlete. But he wasn't always Mr. Superhero. In this great autobiographical self-help book, David walks us through his transformation from being a 297-pound exterminator to a "Who IS this guy?!" superhero. If you're into SUPER (!!!) intense demonstrations of how to conquer ourselves to do the seemingly impossible (and don't mind a stream of f-bombs—lol) then I think you'll love this book as much as I did. Big Ideas we explore include: The Accountability Mirror, bringing your best (when you feel the worst), hero callouses (let failures toughen you up!), the process (how to go from running 1/4 of a mile to 200+ nonstop), and bursting from the inside out (learn to endure!).
