Product Information, Not A Review

Specs, pricing and buying notes taken from the manufacturer so you can compare this against whatever else you are looking at. I have not had this one in my hands. When it goes through real use it gets rewritten as a full review, with a rating and my own photos.

What Stands Out

  • Same format as the first: audiobook carries extra unscripted material
  • More introspective than Can't Hurt Me, which some readers prefer
  • Works as a standalone if you never read the first

What To Check

  • Covers similar ground to the first book
  • Still the same extreme template that does not generalise
  • Diminishing returns if you found the first repetitive

What it is

The follow-up, with the same audio-only conversations and a slightly more reflective Goggins.

Audiobook or print

Both links are below, and for some books on this shelf that choice genuinely matters. Narrative and memoir usually win on audio. Anything you will want to flip back through — frameworks, diagrams, protocols — is better in print, and I say so on the pages where that applies rather than pretending every book works both ways.

Who should skip it

The cons above are the honest version. If two or more of them describe you, this is not your book, and there are forty-four others on this shelf.

The Short Version

Start with Can't Hurt Me. If that landed, this is more of it.
