    Never Finished

    David Goggins · 2022

    This is not a self-help book. It's a wake-up call!Can't Hurt Me, David Goggins' smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. InNever Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.The stories and lessons in this raw, revealing, unflinching memoir offer the reader a blueprint they can use to climb from the bottom of the barrel into a whole new stratosphere that once seemed unattainable. Whether you feel off-course in life, are looking to maximize your potential or drain your soul to break through your so-called glass ceiling, this is the only book you will ever need.

      The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self by Michael Easter.

      Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within by David Goggins.

      These two books stuck with me. We are often too comfortable with being comfortable. There is nothing wrong with that, but real growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone. We are far more capable than we think.

      I’m glad to hear they were helpful! David Goggins two books are great as well, and probably in line with your current themes. Can’t Hurt Me and Never Finished. Highly recommend the audiobooks for those too.

      I love HN's recommendations for topics like these. My favorite book read was: David Goggins - Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within [0]. No bullshit, motivating read.
