David Goggins has achieved a lot. Regardless whether those achievements are relevant to you or sound senseless (4000 Pull-ups?), the physical exertion and capabilities he\u2019s achieved are astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019m a couch potato myself and went inside this audiobook thinking that yeah, I probably wouldn\u2019t benefit much from that aspect, since I\u2019m rarely motivated much by physical activity, but when I\u2019ve completed, I realise that I was wrong. Not that I\u2019m going to jump off my seat and join and Ultra-marathon, but rather I\u2019ve learned now two things from the book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You can apply the same perseverance doing physical work, towards study and intellectual activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You need to be physically fit to have a clear mind, in the sense that physical fitness correlates to mental strength.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The first point serves to motivate (David Goggins hates the word motivation, and uses the word obsession) me to be more active AND to be more diligent in improving my technical knowledge. He said about not putting anything that should be done today, to tomorrow and that\u2019s what I should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The second point reminds me when I was cleaning the recent Commonwealth athletes village, where I saw quite a lot of the athletes have books in their room. I remember also that the average books read by Olympic athletes are also higher than the nation\u2019s average. Point is, these athletes aren\u2019t dumb. And training your body will only improve your mind only, and not the other way around. The adage brain versus brawn seems ridiculous now, and David Goggins has helped me to shift that mindset even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This audiobook is very long (17 hours) and almost double the normal long ones. This is because the writer and Goggins have interludes in between with commentaries and even challenges. I appreciate the effort and it seems to work in making the audiobook even more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall a worthwhile book\/audiobook to consume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
