Breaking the Cycle
Goggins grew up in a challenging environment filled with pain and adversity. Through candid accounts, he highlights the importance of breaking free from the cycles that hold us back. He urges readers to confront their past traumas, acknowledge their weaknesses, and embrace discomfort as a means of personal growth.
Embracing the "Hell Week" Mentality
As a Navy SEAL, Goggins endured grueling training, including the notorious "Hell Week." This phase of training serves as a metaphor for life's challenges. Goggins emphasizes the importance of pushing through our self-imposed limits and developing the resilience needed to overcome obstacles.

By holding ourselves accountable for our actions, thoughts, and emotions, we can break free from the negative patterns that prevent us from achieving our goals. He encourages readers to develop a calloused mind that can withstand any adversity.
Living by the "Cookie Jar" Philosophy
To overcome moments of self-doubt and despair, Goggins developed the "Cookie Jar" philosophy. By reflecting on his past accomplishments and reminding himself of the resilience he possesses, he finds the strength to keep pushing forward in the face of adversity. Goggins inspires readers to create their own "Cookie Jar" to remind themselves of the battles they have already conquered.
The Importance of Self-Talk and Visualization
Goggins emphasizes the power of self-talk and visualization in shaping our mindset. By transforming our internal dialogue from one of self-doubt and fear to that of self-belief and determination, we can change the trajectory of our lives. He advocates for creating a positive self-image and visualizing success to manifest our desired outcomes.
Beyond Ordinary: Embracing the Uncommon
Goggins challenges us to abandon the comfort of mediocrity and become uncommon amongst our peers. By consistently pushing ourselves beyond what is considered normal, we can tap into our untapped potential. He shares his own experiences of ultra-endurance races and extreme physical challenges, demonstrating that our bodies are capable of far more than we imagine.

For David Goggins, adolescence was a bad dream - - neediness, bias, and actual maltreatment shaded his days and tormented his evenings. However, through self-control, mental durability, and difficult work, Goggins changed himself from a discouraged, overweight youngster with no future into a U.S. Military symbol and one of the world's top perseverance competitors. The main man in history to finish first class preparing as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he proceeded to establish standards in various perseverance occasions, rousing Outside magazine to name him "The Fittest (Real) Man in America."
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his shocking biography and uncovers that a large portion of us tap into just 40% of our abilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story enlightens a way that anybody can follow to push past torment, wreck dread, and arrive at their maximum capacity.
