Certainly not due to a book by a negro.
Nolan Rodriguez
What’s the book about?
Nathaniel Brooks
What’s his situation in this book? Im gonna guess and say, “As a black man in the military I faced these challenges because I’m black man”

Doubtful. He's just a guy who picked himself up out of mediocrity by hate-shaming himself into excellence. He made himself into an NPC to achieve goals that are praiseworthy. Now he wrote a book. Marcus Aurelius would have hailed him as a success and proof for his diary desu.

Yes.

i love that all men dream to have the same power over roasties as the power of roasties over men. YOU JUST KNOW that men want to have the easy life of sluts and make roasties compete for them, then just pick the slut of the week, like women do. YOU JUST KNOW that men want to be loved just for existing

Everyone wants that user.

Outliers can never accept that their own elite genetics and mindset are not obtainable by 99% of people. The "If I can do it, anyone can" bullshit is so overdone.
Goggins had a legit traumatic childhood. No doubt. He went on to become a super-achiever like many traumatised people do. It's a coping mechanism. The man is actually ill and his obsessive work ethic is really no different to the addiction of a junkie or alcoholic.
He talks in the book how his dad made him work night shifts as a 6 year old. Terrible but it would have instilled crazy work ethic at a formative age. He figured out he needed to get his shit together before his teens were over and joined the military. He got fat simply because he was powerlifting and bulking like crazy.
It's all cherry picking and hyperbole like most zero to hero stories.

>went on to become a super-achiever like many traumatised people do
well then why am I such a loser? how do you get this masochistic work ethic?
Henry Myers
You don’t worship it like he does. Physical Masochism is his altar. I bet I can read more than him everyday however. To some extent I like this philosophy but he is an extreme representation, similar to a buddhist monk in his single minded pursuit.

By eventually realising that you feel terrible, and will forever, and your only options are:
Accept it as the way things are
Ignore it and self-medicate with distraction
Ignore it and self-medicate with focus and discipline.
It won’t ever stop feeling like an alternation between feeling hollow and feeling exhausted, rarely complete, and you’ll never appreciate the problems you avoided this way. Discipline is the continuously-made leap of faith that a present discomfort is preferable to feeling that your laziness is responsible for your problems.

im not even sure if its laziness, I have to use willpower just to put clothes on, thats before I even leave the house

Eat a fistfull of benadryl or datura and change your life. Easy way to inflict metaphysical existential trauma onto yourself without dying (immediately).
Nicholas Lewis
Ive already had enough childhood trauma, this myth that were all magically successful isnt really true for me
