For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Publisher's Summary
USA Today best-selling book!
Mike Majlak was a 17-year-old from a loving middle-class family in Milford, Connecticut, when he got caught up in the opioid epidemic that swept the nation. For close to a decade thereafter, his life was a wasteland of darkness and despair. While his peers were graduating from college, buying homes, getting married, having kids, and leading normal lives, Mike was snorting Oxycontin, climbing out of cars at gunpoint, and burying his childhood friends.
Unable to escape the noose of addiction, he eventually lost the trust and support of everyone who had ever loved him. Alone, with nothing but drugs to keep him company, darkness closed in, and the light inside him - the last flicker of hope - began to dim. His dreams, potential, and future were all being devoured by a relentless addiction too powerful to fight.
Despair filled him as he realized he wasn't going to survive. Somehow, he did. He not only survived, he thrived. Now, he's a social media personality with millions of followers and an entrepreneur, marketer, podcaster, YouTuber, and author who hopes to use his voice to shine a light for those whose own lights have grown dim. This is his story.

Book is straight fire
I never finished a book.. and wish I hadn’t. It was similar to your favorite movie or documentary.. you love it the entire way though & all the sudden.. it’s over. I can’t wait for the movie to come out just so I can be the guy that says “the book was way better”. Mike turned his dark past & bloomed it into a bright future. This book symbolizes something different for everyone. For me, although I’ve never been an addict myself.. it really opened up an insight into a whole new world. It was also a symbol of hope & you can truly achieve anything w the right mindset.

Mike is my hero
For someone that doesn’t do drugs, you can still learn from this book. What I got out of this book is to move forward, there a way out from a bad normalcy lifestyle and getting REDEMPTION from people you know and love is one of the best feelings to ever have.

Incredible!
A journey of hope from despair, pain, and struggle. I’m not an addict but I can relate to Mike family. The struggle, pain, and toll this takes on those praying for better, sobriety, and peace to relatives suffering from addiction/mental illness.
I teared up at the end when Mike says, “be that light”! Because it’s what keeps them driving through all of this. It’s a struggle being the mother, daughter, brother or father watching this unfold. I know for me it is. This is the first time I’ve heard an ex addict and actually heard them.... I mean really listen to them say how important family is to them and that it just might be that driving force to keep them going in the right direction.
Must read! For everyone involved.

First Audiobook
As my first Audiobook I don’t really know where a review stands but personally as a drug user myself I feel this book was very powerful pretty slow at times but overall a great look at a celebrity’s story and as a celebrity I feel Mike is using his social power to try and change others now and this book was a great starting point for that .

My goodness
I am very shocked at the insane willpower you must have to go through your journey! I see the pain in my life and I sometimes wonder wether I should stop and give up or keep going!
At a curving point in my life right now this book brings me great peace and understanding!
I will continue to breathe and keep pushing!
This book sent me chills up my spine, made my nerves shake all over the place! My anxiety reading this increased but it was so hard to stop listening! It took me 2 days to listen to this book and I’m a better person because of it! I hope to be as successful as you one day and I connected with you being a dog walker as I am one now! I hope to build my brand @wagandwalks to beyond greatness!
I’m sure this book gave me an opportunity to keep on going!
Thankyou Mike!
Hope to Thank you on day in person!

Very Well written and truthful!
This book has by far taken the lead for anything I have read/listen to so truthful and heart felt. And amazing story of mikes insane, scary, painful but amazing life this story will change people’s lives with out a doubt. he has done and amazing thing here and can not wait to see where he takes it. This book will leave you not wanted to stop listing so be prepared for a long sitting. Ps having your own voice in there is a game changer and everyone voice in the letters very very well done.
To Mike Majlak and Riley j. Ford this book has opened my eyes from when I had a light ( compared to mike ) addiction at a younger age to how much the points you make in this book are 100% spot on and how family will help you even if you Think there not.
Anyway this is going to change lives and save many people and for that I thank you.

Best Book I’ve Ever Heard/Read
I don’t ever read books, but after listening to Mike on impaulsive and watching him on YouTube and hearing glimpses of his story about his past and how he got to where he was today, I knew I had to listen to this! I couldn’t get the chance to read it because I live in Australia and shipping was hella expensive for the paperback so I downloaded Audible and from the moment I started listening I couldn’t stop! Mike’s story is so inspiring, and I personally can take away a lot from this book to place into my own world.
Thank you Mike! You’re a scumbag, but a fucking legend!

Life changing!
I absolutely loved it! It is a truly remarkable story of dealing with mental health and addiction. Mikes perseverance to rewrite some very dark times of his past, stories that most would deep burried in the past, he decided to open to the world so that we can see the damaging effect drugs can have on anyone. This story isn't just for addicts or recovering addicts, but also for those who struggle with mental health or those who struggle for a purpose in life. I could not recommend this book more.
