"David Goggins is a man of iron will and an inspiration to all. Just listening to this guy makes you want to run up a mountain. I am convinced that people like him can change the fate of the world. Thanks to them, we begin to act with determination and deep self-confidence in everything we do. His goal to become extraordinary among the extraordinary is an idea that each of us can use to find the strength within ourselves and fully utilize our potential. Meeting him made me a better person."

"For David Goggins, his childhood was a nightmare: marked by poverty, discrimination and physical abuse. But through self-discipline, mental toughness and hard work, Goggins completely transformed himself. This depressed, overweight young man with no future eventually became an icon of the U.S. armed forces and one of the best endurance athletes in the world. He was the only man in history to complete elite Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training and went on to set records in numerous sports and endurance events. Outside magazine named him the fittest (real) man in America. In Nothing Can Break Me, he shares his extraordinary life story and states that most of us only use 40 percent of our potential. Goggins calls this the 40% rule, and his story charts a path that anyone can follow to deal with pain, overcome fear, and reach their full potential.

Modern neuroscience proves that courage and success come from accepting pain and fear, not avoiding them. David Goggins' story seems to support this theory. By constantly striving to conquer himself, Goggins learned how – regardless of how he feels, external conditions or level of motivation – to reprogram his own brain to achieve better results and even become a better person. The book Nothing Can Break Me is an extraordinary account of just such a journey and the ability to use and master the mind. Even more importantly, it also shows how to achieve it."
Dr. Andrew D. Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine

"David Goggins pursues every goal, every dream, no matter what. DOT. There is no stopping him. For him, there are no limits because this guy lives outside his comfort zone. His mental and physical abilities are one. Goggins proves that the body can handle anything if the mind is allowed to keep up. There is no way to stop someone who doesn't understand the concept of being defeated."
Marcus Luttrell, retired Navy Seal, author of the New York Times bestseller The Hell of Afghanistan

"David Goggins throws open the door to pain, evil, darkness, the worst and best of human nature, and the power of the human soul... all in the first chapter. If you are looking for a book that will heal you, stimulate you, inspire you and make you dare to seek answers to the question of what it takes to persevere and triumph in this messed up world, this is the one you are holding in your hands."
Taya Kyle, widow of American sniper Chris Kyle, author of the New York Times bestseller American Wife

"By the time you finish reading David Goggins' new book, you'll have given your victim mentality a good kick in the ass. But as Goggins makes clear in this funny, poignant, and inspiring self-help memoir, what you do next is entirely up to you. As the man with a hole in his heart says: There are no excuses in life, only reasons to try harder."
Jim Defelice, author of Sniper. The Story of the Most Dangerous Sniper in the History of the U.S. Army

"David Goggins's book is not the first to tell the story of overcoming serious obstacles to achieve success, but it is certainly one of the most compelling. This story of overcoming adversity, achieving excellence in sport and service to one's country, devoting oneself to charity, and taking control of one's own destiny will inspire anyone to raise the bar and increase their efforts. "I will never quit" is one of the maxims of the Navy SEAL ethos that David Goggins applies to everything he does."
Eric Olson, U.S. Navy Admiral (ret.); former Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command; President, Special Operations Warrior Foundation

"Knowing that people like this guy exist is a source of great inspiration to me. Not many people survive what happened to David Goggins, but he is proof that anyone can survive if they have the right attitude."
Kelly Slater, 11-time world surfing champion
