Can't Hurt Me

by David Goggins

Three key ideas

  1. Name a specific behavior you want to change, and the circumstances that make it difficult.
  2. A useful challenge serves a goal, allows recovery, and respects signals of injury or unsafe conditions.
  3. Recall a particular occasion when effort, learning, or support helped you through difficulty.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Make an honest inventory
  2. 2.Hard on purpose, not for show
  3. 3.Use real evidence, not a pep talk
  4. 4.A rule of thumb, not a fuel gauge
  5. 5.Fall, review, return smarter

From the comic

My discipline is legendary. I study immediately after this tiny sports update.
