This was not a good book. It had some interesting stories, but the way the idea of being so ‘hard' you can endure anything was shared left me scratching my head.

- “I'm so hard I can run a marathon on broken legs.”
- “I'm so tough that I can do chin ups until my hands rip apart.”
- “My mind is so calloused that I can run until I shit myself.”

I think perhaps David's mind is so calloused it's not working anymore. Why would I want to be tough enough to run on broken legs? If my legs are broken I want to be ‘tough' enough that I can give up on a dream and go to the hospital.

David has done some cool things, but I see very little point in any of it. This book was not for me, and I don't think it's for most people. I rolled my eyes through most of it.
