Hold on and get ready! Time to build your mental toughness with "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. * Become a member https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots *For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse coloured 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 set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him the Fittest (Real) Man in America.In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40 per cent of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential. Thanks to

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition. He tried three times to accomplish this goal Learning from each attempt Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do itFour pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - David Goggins Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.

Food. We all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?* Become a member https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots *Michael Pollan's premise In Defense of Food is a simple seven-word summary; 'Eat food, not a lot, mostly plants.' The rise of nutritionism and industrialization means the Western diet has changed for the worse. We're suffering from over-nutrition, so we need to stand up for "real food," and reclaim good health and natural ingredients.Michael Pollan explores the age of nutritionism and asks how we went from eating food to consuming nutrients, and why this is a problem. Then it looks at why a typical Western diet has damaged our health and made us more overweight than ever before. And finally, it provides basic food rules on eating better, and with more enjoyment.

The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves and most inspired and achieve at their highest levels. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. Drawing on the stories of a wide range of people, including Paul McCartney, Matt Groening, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and Bart Conner, he shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that this is the essential strategy for transform­ing education, business, and communities in the twenty-first century"The Element offers life-altering insights about the discovery of your true best self." --Stephen R.

Elon Musk is unstoppable! He's the most prolific and productive CEO of our times - he's even a bit cheeky. That's why we love him at the Moonshots Podcast. With his recent purchase of Twitter, he is now involved in over five revolutionary companies. So, we ask, 'how does Elon do it?'.Elon Musk co-founded the electronic payment firm PayPal and founded the spacecraft company SpaceX. He also is the founder of The Boring Company, and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. And recently purchased social media giant Twitter.Musk's recent purchase of Twitter for $44 billion was widely covered around the globe. What isn't perhaps known is Musk's ability to multitask and focus on one business at a time truly; when the world was discussing Twitter, Musk was working with his engineers at SpaceX on rock engine "valve leak solutions".INTRO (WHY NOW?)Joe Rogan reflects on the purchase and why free speech mattersJoe Reacts to Elon Musk Buying Twitter (1m44)Elon Musk and the head of TED, Chris Anderson, talk open source Twitter

Our final step in the wisdom series is here with a bang! One of the most influential books ever written is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945, Frankl laboured in four camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known of logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we find meaningful.  Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.
