But to reach that state of empowerment is a difficult task, calling for courage, will power and - often - guidance. In Self-Power, Chopra offers that guidance and encouragement, while inspiring his readers to take their lives into their own capable hands no matter what challenges they may confront--job loss, financial difficulties, relationship issues, health problems or spiritual questions.
The book that inspired the major new motion picture Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world.

He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela tells the extraordinary story of his life--an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.
How medieval monastic practices—with their emphasis on a healthy soul, mind, and body—can inspire us to live fuller lives today We know that they prayed, sang, and wore long robes, but what was it really like to be a monk?
Though monastic living may seem unimaginable to us moderns, it has relevance for today. This book illuminates the day-to-day of medieval European monasticism, showing how you can apply the principles of monastic living, like finding balance and peace, to your life. With wit and insight, medievalist and podcaster Daniele Cybulskie dives into the history of monasticism in each chapter and then reveals applications for today, such as the benefits of healthy eating, streamlining routines, gardening, and helping others.
She shares how monks authentically embraced their spiritual calling, and were also down to earth: they wrote complaints about being cold in the manuscripts they copied, made beer and wine, and even kept bees.

During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication AAC devices to help them communicate.

The basis of this book is a manuscript in Sanskrit which he obtained from India and its value lies in the depth and detail with which this new material has been studied and presented.
The author is to be congratulated, not for his skilful translation from Sanskrit but also for the clarity with which he has applied this to western needs and western minds.
Much has been written in the past regarding the psychosomatic effects of Pranayama and Asanas but in his text, Dr Saher explains clearly the mechanism by which brain and mind operate in conjunction with bodily functions, emotions and psychic experience and also how these may be controlled and applied for our betterment. He also shows how specific areas of the brain control similar areas of mind, how these can be applied to Selfanalysis and using exercises also given in the text, so control both mind and body, that Self-Realisation is possible in the highest sense and that even before this stage is reached, Health, Harmony and Serenity will be attained, surely to be prized for themselves alone.

A Monk s Guide to Happiness. Author : Gelong Thubten Publsiher : St. Act Like a Warrior. But it adds to his hardship that he is so proud of. From a critical point of view, Goggins forfeited family, love, appreciation, and belonging to achieve. There was never balance or appreciation until his life was almost taken from him. I value achievement highly, but it was hard for me to hear him talk about his life on the audiobook.
He cheated throughout school, cheated in buds by stealing the itinerary, and took a disgusting amount of pain meds to get through several obstacles. What I heard was a man lacking peace, lacking understanding, and lacking human connection.
In my opinion, Goggins needs to sit down and have a slice of humble-pie. He seemed so unsatisfied, so uneducated-filling every other word with swear words, and quite narcissistic. I don't recall very many examples where he was thankful for his genes, body, ex-wives and mother who were there every step of the way , friends, or mentors.
Each person is a unique blend of nature and nurture, and I know he had one of the hardest lives growing up. I value his growth mindset, just think it was hyper-focused on a single area in life-physical achievement. And that comes at a cost.
The major things that I would like to apply to my life is the governor-we should remove unnecessary limitations, do things that suck, or change the way we perceive challenges.
So I will do my best to callous my mind each time I do something challenging, and do things that are hard because they are hard, and because it will set me apart in the world.
All in all, it was a fantastic and motivating book, but the dude's only human, as are we. The most powerful people are not the ones who control others, it is those who can control themselves. Thank you David for sharing your story. With a constant focus on disadvantage points, not following a cronologica order, and constantly inviting people to push themself, even with injuries in their bodies.
The end is funny, with the author being so good that even his god has to re-evaluate the plans made for him. Discipline wins over motivation. Thousands have said it before Goggins. There is nothing new in this book. Through following David Goggins on social media, I learned he was writing a book. After much anticipation, the audiobook is finally out! I have no doubt that this audio version will be on repeat. They have for me. For army training freaks, this book is perfect but I was under the impression it would give me a general idea of keeping my mind strong and not just describing army training into every single little detail possible.
I heard many good reviews about this book and rating of 4. I still gave it a chance but it sounded to me that it's nothing but author's ego boost. And come on, running on broken legs?
And all this followed by an interview with the narrator telling how "Hundreds of people are running with injuries" - how is this a good idea? If people will start following this example, they will end up getting injured for life!
And I'm telling this as a very active person myself. All this pushing through pain, "earning" the right to watch TV, destroy other people's mind - is there anything in this person's life that he genuinely enjoys? That makes him happy? I found this book extremely sad. And it sounded like the person who written it is captured in his own torturing set of mind. To go through all that he has and still have the ability to be driven to the success that David Goggins has achieved is truly remarkable.
The icing on the cake are the short interviews that take place at the end of each chapter. Insightful and a brilliant concept. Ok before I say anything negative, this book has some fine points about discipline and some amazing anecdotes about persistence which truly are if true mind-bending.
I am not denying, in any way, this man's physical abilities as a human or mental toughness. That is, in fairness, indisputable. However, I found the writing in this book is hilarious.
It's so Alan Partridge. He keeps saying especially in the excruciating brodude back-and-forth parts with the ghost writer on the audiobook "I'm not a hero", to the extent that I believe he very much doubts that he is not a hero, and possibly polishes a big statue of himself in his house with "A Hero" written on it.
I found it really grating during the hell week stage, where he basically takes credit for the work of his team, as if his steely determination coasted the rest of the guys through. He just can't believe himself.
The guy has his tongue down the back of Goggins' trousers for the whole thing. He's so slimy and sycophantic. At one point, after Goggins had finished describing one of the movies he likes, Platoon I think seriously these parts are inane and insane. Goggins also describes the storyline to the movie Rocky at one point, so buckle up for that one the narrator says something like "that's some knowledge right there".
Thanks for that. Anyway, perhaps it's a cultural thing, constant self-praise is a bit grating to me, but if it doesn't bother you there are some amazing stories about brutal training schedules and physical feats to keep you entertained. Sorry if I was too negative there. I have just finished "Man's Search for Meaning" which sees a man go through a concentration camp and lose everything and there wasn't one self-congratulatory note.
It is humble throughout. That to me is totally amazing. Raw, honest, spiritual, true, transcending. Explore yourself and the depths of your soul as David Goggins' story unfolds offering precious tools and kindling. And now, when life gives you kindling make damn sure to use it and start some longlasting fire. Only at chapter 10 but I couldn't wait any longer. We can all achieve this You need to want change for more than just motivational sake, you need to want it because you deserve it.
Thank you DG for sharing your insight. There are some brilliant takeaways though from the book that have influenced me as I find myself thinking about them in my day to day life and that is a good sign the book has affected you. No doubt David is tough man and a great leader and inspiration. This just seems like a book about David and how effing tough he is. Worth listening to though. Although in the title I have said this is a self help book, I would really call it a self awakening book.
This book is not for everyone, as you read or listen, one of 2 things will happen. You will either start to feel that there are too many challenges ahead and take the easy way out and go back to watching telly. Or, if you are worthy, you will re-ignite the flame you had as a kid to just get up and get after it. The story of David Goggins life is inspirational, bit what he is doin is simply opening a door to discovery of yourself.
Best listen in ages, shed tears of realisation whilst reflecting between his and my own life, and wasted potential past. I have waited for months to listen this book as David is so inspiring.. Once you listen to this guy for few months in loop.. And it's finally release, I was excited and started listening..
No doubt book is great, message he tries to tell audience that how he conquer odds by simply hard work, repeatation and inhuman pain tolarance.. Thank you David for the inspiration.. This man's life is truly amazing and to see where he came from and all that he has accomplished is an inspiration.
Very engaging and great post chapter conversations with Goggins and Skolnick. If you listen to this story and am not inspired to maximise your life there is truly something wrong with you! What an astonishing, humbling, and elating book. Goggins moves the reader from a hell most humans will never have the misfortune to experience, through countless moments of unimaginable success and crushing failure, to a place of hard earned peace and even communion with God.
Every passage drenched in the authenticity and vulnerability that comes from having run every mile he speaks of. I loved the realness and intensity of every minute of this journey, feel blown away by the completeness of the book, and wonder how many of MY fears I'll be willing to face to discover who I really am.
Explore this insane and extraordinary book. This book has nothing to do with mental toughness. This book is glazed over biography yes biography because he has a ghost writer , running and a human pushing himself past his initial physical thresholds at great costs and then essentially becomes addicted to stretching to 'heal himself'.
It's boring. This book fails on all points, the hashtag suggestions are cringey and the podcast feel between chapters is NOT my jam. I finished this book on 1. It could not finish soon enough. An amazing real life story. Well told and with amazing insights from David Goggins himself.
Life changing stuff. A PDF of all the challenges would be great or bookmarks that link you back to them. Best inspirational Audible! Can't Hurt Me - David Goggins book started me on the right path to saving myself, he saved me from an early death, the way I was going.
I am 62, I had Type 2 Diabetes, obese at 99kg and eating all sorts of crap food and drinking every day. I was very unfit. I came across David Goggins on Youtube and started watching all his videos.
I made a commitment to myself and I got off my ass and started getting up at 5 am, going into my gym space, working out on my wife's elliptical and listening to "Can't Hurt Me". I couldn't do ten minutes on that thing, without thinking I was going to die! Long story short, I finished his book while slogging it out on the elliptical. Two weeks later, I completed a half marathon on the elliptical and now do one every couple of days.
Two months and I'm not stopping now, it's hard but I am now onto lifting weights, listening to other Audibles while I work out and starting to look like I did 22 years ago. Thank you and Roger that!
What a fantastic insight into the mind of David Goggins. This bloke is in a league of his own when it comes to mental toughness. Huge inspiration and will take many lessons from this book. This book will shake your core and challenge the way you live your life. Start listening and get ready to work harder then you ever have before.
Life changing! Train to be uncommon amongst uncommon people! I did not want this to end! Incredible from start to finish. The commentary in between chapters and at various other points really adds to the whole book and breaks it up perfectly.
