This book details Itzler's experiences of having former Navy Seal David Goggins living with him and training him for 31 days. It’s a fun and entertaining read. I especially liked it because it kind of redefines what I view as “normal.” It shows that it’s okay and perhaps even beneficial to do weird and tough things.
I’m probably not going to do Goggins’ 4x4x48 challenge – running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours. Or 100 pull-ups in a row. Or 500 pushups in a single day. But I find myself doing other challenging and somewhat silly things, like taking more and longer cold showers or going for longer runs. I’m also not as worried anymore about a bad night’s sleep or about overtraining.
It’s a quick and entertaining read that influenced my worldview in a positive way.

These five books helped shape my own recovery and inspired me to share my story so others could find the strength to rebuild, too.
A powerful guide for anyone struggling to release emotional pain, anger, heartbreak, or long-standing resentment.
Hawkins explains how holding onto old emotions can affect your health, relationships, and sense of self.
For men who grew up believing emotions should be controlled or hidden, this book offers a practical method to process feelings rather than store them. The teachings are simple but profound, helping readers move from tension to peace. It is especially helpful during transitions—divorce, loss, career changes, or the slow rebuilding of a wounded heart.
A powerful mechanism to help you surrender anything holding you back on your path to Enlightenment and find fulfilment, truth and spiritual growth.
Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to Enlightenment and become free of negativity. During the many decades of the author's clinical psychiatric practice, the primary aim was to seek the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its many forms.
