David Goggins: Can't Hurt Me

David Goggins: Can't Hurt Me

Hold on and get ready! Time to build your mental toughness with "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. * Become a member https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots *For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse coloured his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him the Fittest (Real) Man in America.In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40 per cent of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

How David Goggins Broke the World Pull-up Record

How David Goggins Broke the World Pull-up Record

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition. He tried three times to accomplish this goal Learning from each attempt Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do itFour pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - David Goggins Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.

Michael Pollan: In Defense of Food

Michael Pollan: In Defense of Food

Food. We all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?* Become a member https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots *Michael Pollan's premise In Defense of Food is a simple seven-word summary; 'Eat food, not a lot, mostly plants.' The rise of nutritionism and industrialization means the Western diet has changed for the worse. We're suffering from over-nutrition, so we need to stand up for "real food," and reclaim good health and natural ingredients.Michael Pollan explores the age of nutritionism and asks how we went from eating food to consuming nutrients, and why this is a problem. Then it looks at why a typical Western diet has damaged our health and made us more overweight than ever before. And finally, it provides basic food rules on eating better, and with more enjoyment.
