The Comfort Crisis

About this book-as-podcast

Michael Easter argues that modern life is too easy, and that this comfort is making people unwell. He spent 33 days on an Arctic hunting trip and weaves that experience together with research on hardship, boredom, hunger, and physical load. The book makes the case that humans need struggle to feel truly alive.
