We have all the tools we need inside our minds.” I realized through my journey in life what we’re all capable of doing. But that’s why I don’t give anybody a get-out-of-jail-free card. I had white splotches on my skin from stress.
I had a very abusive father, and it just kind of snowballed from there. “You need a good foundation to start life. I was getting ready to sign, and I was like, You know what?

I am asking people to go way within themselves to find a lot more.” “My lifestyle, the way I do everything, it’s not for everybody. We phoned Goggins in Avalon, New Jersey, where he’d just finished his daily six-hour morning workout. To survive, Goggins found strength in regularly putting himself through hell-literally, if you count his three rounds of attempting the notoriously grueling SEAL Hell Week-and believes there’s no shortcut to mental toughness. But earning that résumé required overcoming an abusive childhood, a murder in the family, rampant racism in his small Indiana hometown, a learning disability, obesity, and more-a catalog of obstacles that might sound comically overstuffed if it weren’t all true. The retired Navy SEAL has spent the past two decades exploring the outer limits of human performance, both as an elite Special Operations member and an accomplished ultra-endurance athlete. David Goggins’s new memoir, Can’t Hurt Me, is written in part as a self-help manual, but the opening line delivers some uncommonly blunt advice for a genre better known for telling us we just need to learn to love ourselves: “You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.” It’s an apt summation of Goggins’s worldview.
