The best things said about it
He basically found David Goggins. David Goggins lived with them for 30 days. It's an awesome book, it's a really good book.
It was basically the book I think that got David Goggins to be famous. It was awesome, it was a good book.
This is before anyone who knew who David Goggins was so the book came out and he just calls it living with a ceiling never mentions the guy's name.
That sounds so freaking miserable.
The guy's run over 50 marathons, has run a hundred miles in a 24 hours, and actually had David Goggins live with him for 30 days and ended up writing a book about it.

Why people recommend it
Living with a SEAL by Jesse Itzler chronicles the author's thirty-day experience inviting an intense Navy SEAL, later identified as David Goggins, to live with him and completely overhaul his physical and mental limits. The book has achieved widespread acclaim and sparked extensive conversations across multiple podcasts regarding endurance and personal growth. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Bert Kreischer and Joe Rogan discussed the extreme athletic challenges detailed in the book and the impact of living alongside such a formidable motivator, with Rogan also later praising the author's subsequent works. Cody Ko recommended the title during an appearance on My First Million, pointing listeners toward its gripping narrative of extreme endurance. Shaan Puri repeatedly championed the book on the same podcast, describing it as an awesome read that essentially catapulted David Goggins to fame, and even suggested it as a grueling fitness challenge for fellow entrepreneurs like Andrew Wilkinson. On Modern Wisdom, the host recommended the book after receiving it as a tip from a guest, praising it as an exceptional account of enduring harsh physical trials. Finally, when Jesse Itzler appeared on My First Million, Shaan Puri shared how reading the book was the exact moment he became deeply engaged with Itzler's inspiring journey. Across all these discussions, the book is consistently celebrated as a masterclass in pushing past perceived boundaries and embracing intense, uncomfortable personal challenges.
