Create a mental jar of every win, every battle you survived. Tap into it when you want to quit.“The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.”

Build the Cookie Jar

No one’s coming to save you. Own your life. Forge your own story through suffering and effort.

You’re Your Own Hero

Stop chasing comfort. The suck sharpens you. Run toward it, not away.

Embrace the Suck

Don’t settle for average. Even among the elite, find ways to stand out. Be relentless. Be uncommon.

Get Uncommon Among the Uncommon

Pain is your passport to growth. Instead of running from suffering, use it to fuel transformation.“Suffering is the true test of life.”

Turn Suffering Into Fuel

Life will break you if you're not hard. Build grit daily. Discipline is the armor of greatness.

Stay Hard

Just like hands toughen through repetition, your mind strengthens through pain, struggle, and discomfort."You are in danger of living a life so soft that you will die without ever realizing your true potential."

Callous Your Mind

When you think you're done, you're only at 40% of your actual capacity. Your mind quits long before your body does.

The 40% Rule

Look yourself in the mirror and stop lying. Radical self-honesty is the starting line for change.

The Accountability Mirror

You won’t always feel inspired. Build discipline. Show up whether you feel like it or not.

New York Times Bestseller Over 2.5 million copies sold 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.
