Reddit reviews Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

Memes aside that's a pretty good foundation to believe in philosophically.

A once heard some advice that I'll share with you: to truly succeed at something you need two things, obsession and work ethic.

I highly recommend this book. I wish I could have read it at your age.

I would prescribe David Goggins' 'You Can't Hurt Me' as the perfect remedy for you https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512287

Very highly recommend it... the audio book is even better. The format is easy to listen to, it’s almost like a really long podcast

I'd suggest adult education courses and work towards your highschool diploma.

Also just finished reading this book... Might give you some motivation https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512287

Good idea. I found it in the David Goggins memoir.

I must be insane, because I just finished Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins and when he was talking about running all those ultra-marathons I was thinking, I want to try that.

And I don't really care for running.

Hi,

this is Dr. Brus-Ramer, president of Elite Medical Prep. I wanted to add some thoughts and specific pieces of advice.

Your story is really disappointing to hear. One's family is usually their bedrock, especially in really tough moments such as this. The USMLE Step 1 is so much harder than non-medical people can understand. The mental toll is immense.

Here is the specific advice I wanted to add. There is good scientific evidence that would support that your current learning struggle will ultimately be very beneficial to your learning and work as a physician, and possibly show up positively on your Step 1 performance. Recently I began listening to the audiobook, 'Range' by David Epstein which lays out the thesis that early struggles in learning can lead to far better and more durable learning and stronger outcomes later on. One of the key pieces of evidence is the work by the UCLA researcher Robert Bjork, who seems to have coined the term 'desirable difficulties' in the context of improved learning and skill development, acquisition and application.

Right now you are struggling and your family is not particularly helpful at this moment. However, if you can take a step back and see this struggle as something that can make you stronger and more mentally durable, you may come out on the other side with far better performance than you have had so far. If you are looking for more motivation or sources for inner strength at this tough moment, I would also suggest reading/audio booking 'Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds' by David Goggins. This is one of the most powerful autobiographies I have ever read, and it has a self-help component built into the audiobook version that is totally awesome and zero BS.

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your journey.

I will only recommend one self help book that's ever did anything for me: https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512287

Yep
