Why "Can't Hurt Me" is so popular?
Say whatever bad you want about this book, I probably agree. Regardless of its obvious flaws, it changed my life for the better.

I first started listening to the audio in the gym. I did 2x as many rows as my previous set just because of what Goggins had to say at that moment. I did the impossible. He gave me 2x the endurance with words alone.

At times it gave me those, “people and the world are so god damn beautiful” teary eyes

No, I didn't read it but I wanted to know what all the fuzz is about. Recently I had a collection on my kindle called "Regrets" for the books that I bought and found out it was trash, so I am a little skeptical about new books.
