1. The Accountability Mirror: David Goggins’s Radical Honesty Practice
   The accountability mirror is Goggins’s practice of standing in front of a mirror and speaking with complete honesty about the gap between who you are and who you claim to be — no excuses, no filters. It’s a form of radical self-confrontation designed to strip away comfortable self-narratives. This is practitioner wisdom grounded in personal experience, not clinical research; the underlying mechanisms (self-confrontation, honest feedback) have some psychological support, but the intensity of the practice is Goggins’s own.
