The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self
Categories: Health, Fitness & Dieting, Self-Help
The Comfort Crisis is journalist Michael Easter's argument that modern comfort is making people less healthy and less happy. Easter joins a month-long hunting expedition in the Alaskan backcountry and talks with scientists and researchers about boredom, hunger, cold, exertion and facing death. He argues that deliberately seeking hard, uncomfortable challenges can improve physical and mental health, and he shows how readers can bring some of that wildness back into their everyday lives.
