In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending. I've admired Goggins for quite some time now and wanted this book to give me wisdom for overcoming adversity. While I like the audio, I own copies of both books as they’re definitely ones worth referring back to. Buckling them in a firefighting stint (tearing multiple ligaments etc), and decides to commit to running the Moab 240 again later that year with help of a talented physio. Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind.

Can't Hurt Me, David Goggins' smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. A savage is an individual who defies odds, who has a will that cannot be tamed, and who, when knocked down, will always get back up!

If you fail to realise this, then these are opportunities wasted which could/should have been used to better yourself. No matter what comes down on your head, you must find a glimmer of light, remain positive, and never treat yourself as a victim. I don’t mean to suggest that you must run one hundred or two hundred miles to believe you have what it takes to get where you want to go. O que realmente me prendeu foi a parte que ele diz para deixar o seu propósito de lado, pois isso pode ser mais uma besteira que enfiaram na sua cabeça. By sharing his life experiences, he has given all of us a blueprint on not only how to pick ourselves up but also how to excel in the face of overwhelming adversity and "stay hard" in the process.

I guess if there is a constructive way to beat the demons and fight the pain, this is quite a way to do it. While I can relate with his relentless mindset, it is the constant recurrence of his self sabotage/self damage that is for the most part “avoidable” through overworking and lack of preparation for certain events. One that eliminates all doubt, makes you certain of your strength and the fact that eventually, you will prevail, so long as you keep moving forward. His messages, at their most basic, are good: don't give up when you're down, you can do more than you think you can, don't let your past define you. Goggins explains the reasoning behind his intense drive and in doing so encourages the reader to examine their own circumstances with a view to affecting changes in their outlook on life.You’ll no doubt be motivated and inspired by David’s story and you’ll definitely have a spring in your step going forwards.

Which world class athletes are pushing to the utmost limit for an event and then ending up having to fight to recover for the next year+ just to run again? We are all capable of achieving great things, but we need to first unshackle our minds and win the war within.He is indeed a savage but he puts himself through unnecessary hells to claim that title every day of his life. David Goggins had his mother feature in the recordings where there was a conversation at the end of one of the chapters and that was one of the most heartbreaking yet enlightening and inspiring conversations I’ve ever heard whilst listening to an Audible book.
