Living with a SEAL

by Jesse Itzler

Itzler invites a Navy SEAL (later revealed as David Goggins) to live with him for a month and do whatever he says; the result is a funny, exhausting diary of runs in snow, pull-ups in the thousands and a lesson about how much of our limit is in our head. It is light and quick.

Three things you will actually use

  3. Do something that sucks every day.

Do this first

Do one thing today that you decided earlier you could not.
