Summary of Can’t Hurt Me - Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds - A Comprehensive Summary
The first chapter of the book is a chapter where the author of the book writes about his early childhood. Moreover, as we read it, we learn much about Mr. Goggins’ family circumstances, neighborhood, and the situation in which he and his family lived. Even though everything on Paradise Road looked like the good life at first, David described his life there literally as “hell.”
David’s father Tunnis Goggins, was a successful businessman. He was a handsome man and built like a boxer. When his father met his mother Jackie, she was seventeen years younger than he was. Jackie was beautiful and built slender. The two of them had two sons; Tunnis Jr. and David. Tunnis started as an owner of a Coca-Cola distribution concession and four-delivery routes owner in Buffalo when he was just twenty. Several years later, he opened one of Buffalo’s first roller skating rinks and a bar above it.
This skate land became the business of Goggins family. That was how everyone else saw it. Tunnis Jr., Jackie, and David had to work there every night. They usually got there at 5 p.m. However, the real work began at 10 p.m. when the Skateland doors were typically closed. During that time, the three of them had to do the work of cleaning the place and taking inventory. When it comes to David’s father, David emphasizes that his father never gave any of them any cut from the proceeds of the Skateland or the Vermillion Room. Furthermore, his dad never allowed David’s mother to have her own bank account or credit cards in her name.

CONCLUSION
SUMMARY of Can’t Hurt Me
The second part of the chapter is about David’s mother. Here we read how Jackie had to endure a tremendous tempo and how she almost never rested. Moreover, besides fetching cases of liquor from the basement, and doing other menial tasks, Jackie was also the only cashier. Jackie collected everyone’s cover charge. She was never compensated for it. Instead, Tunnis constantly abused her.
Later in this chapter, David described one of events during which Tunnis physically abused Jackie and beat her badly. During that event, David ran and tried to protect his mother, but could not do much since Tunnis was a grown man and David just a boy. After that event, Jackie had enough. She decided to leave Tunnis. She said that to her sons. Even though David was more than eager to escape from his father, Tunnis Jr. hesitated. The reason for his hesitation was because Tunnis Jr. was Tunnis’ favorite son and as such, he occasionally got special treatment.
