RE: Book review: Can't hurt me by David Goggins
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
So, my knowledge of David Goggins is very vague. Prior to this I only knew he was a famous athlete known for his extremely rigorous and intensive training.
I didn't know that there was a book out there about him and even if I did I wouldn't have expected to find such insights from it.
Your blog post is nice but it's clear that you put more effort in your YouTube and I would reccomend to anyone that liked your blog post to also check out your videos!
I just finished the first video of yours on this book and it was amazing.
It's clear that english is not your primary language and yet you speak with clear diction (you have a very soothing voice!) and have so many things to say.
It seems like you've been at it for a while and if your other videos are similar then you're very underappreciated on YouTube and if there's some justice that will change eventually.
As for the book itself, I really appreciated you bringing up the summary of each chapter and sharing your notes on it. Many people would not put the time and effort to read a self-help book or invest money to go to therapy but with what you shared I feel like I got some of the benefits of those things all wrapped up together.
There's some great lessons in there about tenacity, accountability, perseverance and the human condition. I like that they're exemplified by little metaphors such as "the cookie jar", "the bad hand" and so on.
Most of us know, at least subconsciously, what they need to do in order to better their lives but metaphors such as those as well as the other tips can be really helpful to create a method, form habits and motivate us.
Thanks for sharing and putting all this effort in your content!
I will definetely check out more of it in the future.
Hey! I also was surprised to see that Goggins can write in such a manner, one would not expect this from an athlete.
I have recently built my website, thank you for stopping by and also looking at my Youtube channel. I do what I do because I love books and I am sure that if my focus would be on going viral it would take the fun out of it. Would I love to have this type of content reach more people? For sure. I trust the Universe to deliver everything at its right time.
I know that going through every chapter is something rare because we live now in times when attention span has declined and it takes patience to be able to listen to my videos. So I am not for everyone and that is okay. My soothing voice is a bonus for sure:)
I am glad that you extracted what you needed from my review and that I gained a new dedicated subscriber! Thank you:)
I'd have to imagine that ghost writers were involved, as is often the case for books about celebrities.
Regardless, his story was inspiring and the way it seems to be broken down into bite-sized motivational concepts makes it something worth reading and sharing.
Anyway, good luck with everything!
I thought about this possibility as I felt that when it came to the romantic relationship part the book felt vague, almost impersonal.
People put what they want in a book, I think that often enough the essence of their experience remains in the unspoken. I wonder if there are any memoirs where the author was 100% truly exposing himself.
Thank you for your support!
