Where to start with David Goggins
Can't Hurt Me is the one, and the only one most readers need: the account of the weight, the three attempts at SEAL training and the running is genuinely startling, even if the philosophy around it gets repetitive. Never Finished is the sequel and covers similar ground with more interior detail. Built Not Born is the workbook version, useful only if you want the exercises.
