The next book we’ll cover under our Dadly Daily Declaration series is Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins.
Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL and is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training, the U.S. Army Ranger School and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. As an accomplished endurance athlete, Goggins has completed over 60 ultra-marathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five. He once held the Guinness World Record for pull-ups completing 4,030 in 17 hours, and he’s a sought after public speaker.
Goggins was also a key figure in Jesse Itzler’s book, Living With A Seal. Known to try almost anything and feeling himself drifting on autopilot, Itzler hired a rather unconventional trainer (Goggins) to live with him for a month. As the publisher writes, “Living with a SEAL is like a buddy movie if it starred the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air…and Rambo. Jesse is about as easy-oing as you can get. SEAL is…not. He even shows up at Jesse’s apartment with an inflatable raft just in case the Itzler family ever has to escape Manhattan by crossing the Hudson River. At turns hilarious and inspiring, Living with a SEAL ultimately shows you the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone.”
Ed. Note: I’ve read this book (listened on Audible) and it’s terrific. I highly recommend you checking it out.
We’ll start Can’t Hurt Me tomorrow!
