Why being a tough guy won’t work

It’s no secret that most men want to be tough.

Whether it’s business, dating, fitness, or even personal development, the ideal is to be a badass who is reckless and ‘crushing it’ all the time.

Being this “tough” guy often entails pep-talking in front of the mirror and scheduling every minute for maximum productivity, always pushing yourself to the edge to avoid being called a p*ssy.

This relentless pursuit of new conquerings and achievements turns you into a fiercely competitive individual who visualizes and enjoys destroying his opponents.

Most of this occurs as a reaction to unhealed emotional trauma.

We are all broken as we emerge as humans. Some heal and find healthy ways to motivate and discipline themselves while others just ‘tape it up,’ learning to love their pain and making it the rocket fuel of rage.

But is it possible to be a strong man without turning into this kind of twisted tough guy?

Can you face pain with a supple rather than calloused mind?

In my latest video, I talk with Erros Chiodo, one of the coaches from James’s Natural Warrior Workshop, about ex-NAVY SEAL and ultra-athlete David Goggins and his controversial ‘24hr Beast Mode’ approach to motivation and discipline in fitness.

Erros is a Holistic Movement coach who has successfully merged his 10-year experience as a personal trainer, competitive bodybuilder, and strongman with more flexible, chaos-oriented practices such as contemporary dance, gymnastics, and movement culture as a whole. His work now focuses on an integrated approach to strengthening as well as healing the body by addressing the emotional world of his clients.

Together we analyze Can’t Hurt Me, Goggins’ autobiography/self-help book, to reveal whether his advice is useful or potentially harmful to men.
