But could our sheltered, temperature-controlled, overfed, under-challenged lives actually be the leading cause of many of our most urgent physical and mental health issues? In this gripping investigation, award-winning journalist Michael Easter seeks out off-the-grid visionaries, disruptive genius researchers, and mind-body conditioning trailblazers who are unlocking the life-enhancing secrets of a counterintuitive solution: discomfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEaster's journey to understand our evolutionary need to be challenged takes him to meet the NBA's top exercise scientist, who uses an ancient Japanese practice to build championship athletes; to the mystical country of Bhutan, where an Oxford economist and Buddhist leader are showing the world what death can teach us about happiness; to the outdoor lab of a young neuroscientist who's found that nature tests our physical and mental endurance in ways that expand creativity while taming burnout and anxiety; to the remote Alaskan backcountry on a demanding thirty-three-day hunting expedition to experience the rewilding secrets of one of the last rugged places on Earth; and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, Easter uncovers a blueprint for leveraging the power of discomfort that will dramatically improve our health and happiness, and perhaps even help us understand what it means to be human. \u003ci\u003eThe Comfort Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold call to break out of your comfort zone and explore the wild within yourself.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michael Easter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67625205727285,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/1622\/8661\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-07at2.52.34PM.png?v=1791406397","url":"https:\/\/daisychainbook.co\/products\/the-comfort-crisis","provider":"Daisy Chain Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
