Summary

This is not a self-help book. It’s a wake-up call!

Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

The stories and lessons in this raw, revealing, unflinching memoir offer the listener a blueprint they can use to climb from the bottom of the barrel into a whole new stratosphere that once seemed unattainable. Whether you feel off-course in life, are looking to maximize your potential or drain your soul to break through your so-called glass ceiling, this is the only book you will ever need.

An annotated edition of Never Finished, offering over three hours of bonus content featuring deeper insights and never-before-told stories shared by David. Not available in other formats.

Critic reviews

"There are levels to mental strength, and the undisputed gold standard is my friend David Goggins. The combination of the superhuman spectacle of his accomplishments and the immense gravity of his words serves as one of the most potent motivational drugs that exist on God’s green earth. He’s a man who came from a humble and troubled childhood and, through the force of sheer will, forged himself into one of the hardest motherf--kers that’s ever lived. I believe there are people that are put here to elevate our expectations and redefine what’s possible for the rest of us, and David Goggins is the best example of that idea that I’ve ever come across in my life."—Joe Rogan

Disappointing

I’m a big Goggins fan but I was not impressed with this book.
The whole thing is narrated by this Adam guy with an annoying high pitched nasal voice and accent and I couldn’t help wondering why David Goggins didn’t make the effort to read his book for his audience?
If you are going to get someone else to narrate it at least get someone with a tolérable voice.
Also not sure why but I found the content tiresome and nothing new, heard it all before and sometimes it comes across a bit fake and sad - “I am the greatest man who ever lived I am so badass I am so hardcore” - ok we get it man, good for you - lighten up!

Amazing and just as good as the first book

I was skeptical that Goggins would be able to strike gold twice, it's hard to match or even outperform your first best seller, but he's done it.

Lots of amazing advice on how to realize your untapped potential and the incredible cost it takes to turn your life around. If you're down and out, this book will connect deeply with you.

This book isn't about getting getting rich, having a bigger house or ridiculous hustle culture. It's about becoming at peace with yourself by facing your demons and taking back control of your life.

Superb

David's second book is another testament to his greatness and hardcore attitude of never give up. In this book we learn a bit more about the important characters in his life that gave him discipline and a savage mentality. The interview with his mother is very enlightening to understand domestic abuse and how it is possible to escape to achieve greatness. We also learn about the many recent healrh struggles that David went throug since the publication of his first book and his new carreer goals. He is trully unstoppable and a very admirable hero. Superb reading.

Couldn’t listen to anymore

It’s like listening to that person at work, if you ran one mile, they ran two, if you did 40 press ups they did 41.

Should come with an ego warning. Also sounds like he has psychological problems. Alter egos etc

Found this book to be average, not inspirational

I've heard a lot about Mr Goggins but to be honest this book isn't half as good as his interviews. I found the book boring and uninspiring.

He did it again!

Mr.Goggins changed my young life at 20 years old with his first book. Two years later I’m now an emt, left my home town/state and am applying to different police departments and have testing dates coming up within the month. I went from a sad child to a disciplined young man at 22 years old. Two years of routine exercise, no excuses, and mental toughness not only saved me but made me the person I always wished to be. Thank you Mr.Goggins.

Definitely not as good as the first book

David Goggins is without a doubt one of the baddest men to walk the earth! It’s what made the first book so unbelievably great. A true underdog story, in comparison this fell flat vs You Can’t Hurt Me.

It’s mostly about his Ultra career and the trials and tribulations of them grueling competitions. If you like that you’ll probably like this book, personally I have no interest in Ultra Racing and while I appreciate the sport and the mindset needed, it got very old three hours in. Then the book hammered it home for another eight hours.

I should of known when he’s literally running on the cover, that’s the entire book. All running related and instead of running on broken legs this time it’s on broken knees. I don’t mean that in a light way, you just expect that from the “savage” that is Goggins.

The book is titled “Never Finished,” it felt like that as well… it was never going to finish. A slog and a half, maybe David is putting calluses on our minds to get through this one?

Not a total loss, he has some great lines in here and the interview podcast with his mother might be worth the price of admission alone. Him not narrating the book when his name is listed first in the narrated by feels like a cheap shot. He dropped the ball, don’t list your name first when you did less then 5% of the narration.

I would personally pass and do not recommend this book, my time would of been better spent relistening to his first book, “You Can’t Hurt Me.”

I’m ready to kick a door in!

Halfway through and that same drive has crept back into my life after I read Can’t Hurt me in 2019. I needed this book so badly right now. The world needed David Goggins and didn’t even know it until his first book. Well done David, you are the people’s champ that taught us we all have a champion inside.

It’s hard to write a follow up book that’s as good or better!

This book is going to be another listen to over and over again! I am only half way through and have already received golden nuggets #stayhard 💪🏽 congratulations David on another New York best seller!
