Review

David Goggins transforms his life story into a manual for pushing past perceived limitations. His journey from an overweight exterminator to an accomplished Navy SEAL, ultramarathon runner, and world-record holder serves as proof that we can reprogram our minds to achieve what seems impossible.

The raw honesty about his struggles, both physical and mental, makes this book particularly impactful. While his methods may seem extreme, the underlying principles about facing your fears, embracing discomfort, and taking responsibility for your life are universally applicable.
