4. Can't Hurt Me

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice and physical abuse haunted his dreams. But through self-discipline, mental toughness and hard work, he transformed himself from a depressed, overweight youth with no prospects into a U.S. Army icon and one of the top endurance athletes in the world. He is the only person to ever pass elite training to become a Navy SEAL as well as a U.S. Army Ranger and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, and he has also set numerous endurance records.
In "Can't Hurt Me" he tells his truly amazing life story and shows that most of us don't even realise half of our potential. Goggins calls this the 40 per cent rule. His outstanding example, on the other hand, illustrates how anyone can succeed in changing that and overcoming pain thresholds and fears.

10. Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit

Humanity: Crown of Creation or Terror of the Ecosystem? How did we, Homo sapiens, manage to win the struggle for survival against six other human species? Why did our ancestors, who were once hunters and gatherers, settle down, practice agriculture, and establish cities and kingdoms? Why did we begin to believe in gods, nations, and human rights? Why do we place our trust in money, books, and laws, and submit ourselves to bureaucracy, schedules, and consumption? And has all of this made us happier over the millennia? 100,000 years ago, Homo sapiens was still an insignificant creature living inconspicuously in a remote corner of the African continent. Our ancestors shared the planet with at least five other human species, and the role they played in the ecosystem was no greater than that of gorillas.
