Book Review: Can't Hurt Me

 

On the drive up, we listened to David Goggins' audiobook, which is fantastic if you're looking to reach your potential.

It's the story of how one man "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."

Between each chapter, the audiobook version includes a radio show style conversation between the author and his ghost writer, which breaks up some of the more graphic stories—his shitbag dad beat his entire family—with challenges for listeners to help them reach their potential.

Last night, Wiff and I partook in the first two challenges: take stock of all the crappy stuff holding you back and, 2) . I took stock of all the crappy stuff holding me back [lack of self-application] and then engaged in some real selftalk.

. I recommend this book if you want to kick the legs out of any excuses

I do not recommend this book to anyone looking to improve himself, herself, their self, ourself, Chief Sealth, or the 2005 movie Stealth starring Josh Lucas, Jamie Foxx, and Jessica Biel—which bombed at the box office and should indeed be looking to improve its self.

Personally, I have no use for the book. You see, some of us are at the top of our game. We can't go any higher. Not because of any physical, emotional, or even spiritual limitation. But because there's nowhere else to go. I don't know how else to describe the feeling of being at the top other than than lonely. Which is why I'm making myself appear more normal so that I may be more relatable. So. If you're looking to get better—like me [wink]—then I'd HIGHLY recommend this book.
