The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self by Michael Easter

Learning to deal with difficult feelings: The path to becoming a better person and feeling happy.

The book "The Comfort Crisis" talks about how our focus on comfort in society can hurt our health and happiness. It encourages readers to embrace discomfort to live a more fulfilling life. Easter says that we can't always be happy by just being comfortable. He believes that trying to always make things easier and more convenient for ourselves has made us forget our instincts and the world around us.

The author uses science, personal stories, and interesting writing to get his point across in the book. He makes a good argument for embracing situations that make us uncomfortable so that we can grow, become stronger, and be happier. He argues that when we try new things and face difficult situations, it helps us unlock our natural abilities as humans. This can bring back feelings of excitement, goals, and energy.

He encourages people to spend time in nature, try new things, and face their emotional and mental struggles directly.

He blends personal stories with scientific studies to support what he says. The book has interesting stories about Easter's experiences living with hunter-gatherer communities and doing tough physical activities. These stories make the book more realistic and meaningful.

"The Comfort Crisis" is a book that doesn't only point out the problems of our society always wanting to be comfortable, but it also gives helpful ideas and perspectives for readers to try. Easter means it's important to spend time outside, taking on physical challenges, making good friendships, and being strong in your mind.
