Subhash Purushothaman

This book was recommended to me by a fellow SSB aspirant @SSB Prayagraj, and I finally picked it up during my trip to Uttarakhand. Bought it for just ₹200 in Delhi, but its value? Priceless. It took me almost four months to finish—not because of the pages, but because of the weight of its content. David Goggins’ story isn’t just inspiring; it’s brutal. From an abusive childhood to struggling in school, from working as a laborer to failing multiple times before becoming a Navy SEAL—his life is proof that mental toughness can defy all odds. He pushed through unimaginable pain—completing three Hell Weeks, running ultra-marathons, doing 4,000 pull-ups in 17 hours—all while battling serious health conditions. His journey teaches one thing: the mind is your greatest weapon. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. This book isn’t just for athletes or soldiers; it’s for anyone who wants to break limits and transform their mindset. I'm taking these lessons forward in my own journey—because true growth happens outside the comfort zone. If you're looking for something that challenges your perspective on life, read this book. #CantHurtMe #DavidGoggins #StayHard #BookReview #MentalToughness #SelfDiscipline #SSBAspirant #MindsetMatters
