I'm conflicted, but I have to admit it is inspiring. I believe David Goggins probably is the “hardest man in the world.” But his story is also tragic and it's not a price I personally would want to pay. And that's ok!

Some warnings:

1. The book is very abrasive and crude in spots. It's a lot of manly military talk, and I did not appreciate all of the derogatory comments conflating women and female traits and anatomy with weakness. Come. On.

2. It feels like it can't decide if it wants to be a memoir or a self help book. And I would be very hesitant to read this book as advice.

3.5 rounded down. It's a good book, but be prepared. He's taking souls. I wish him all the best.
