Interview with Michael Easter about his book The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self. Argues modern life is too easy, too comfortable. To be healthy, we need to move out of our comfort zones and every once in a while try to do something, especially something physically demanding, that we didn’t think was possible. Discusses rising levels of anxiety and depression in the West and why taking on challenges can be part of the solution.
I skipped this in 2021 but came back to it after reading the complimentary review by Mr Money Mustache.
