Give me 50 sec..I'll DESTROY your comfort zone

Humans evolved to seek comfort, but has modern society made us too comfortable? In The Comfort Crisis, Michael Easter argues that the cozy conveniences of the Western world harm our health and happiness by depriving us of challenges that our ancestors regularly faced. He explains that crucial discomforts like spending time in nature, fasting, and regularly exercising are becoming increasingly obsolete in our temperature-controlled, indoor world—where all of our slightest desires can be remedied with the click of a finger.

Michael Easter is an author, science journalist, and professor. After personally experiencing the life-changing benefits of embracing discomfort during his journey to sobriety, he began researching how physical and mental challenges can counteract the negative effects of modern-day comforts. In this guide, we’ll discuss the comforts that Easter says are most problematic and share his tips to make discomfort your friend. We’ll also compare his research to that of other experts and offer additional advice to quell the harmful comforts in your life.

If you struggle to stay disciplined in work and life, there’s just one thing you need to learn. In How to Do Things You Hate, Peter Hollins explains: Self-discipline is hard but simple—all you need to do is stop avoiding discomfort.

Hollins, an author and self-described “student of the human condition,” writes that avoiding discomfort doesn’t protect you from it—it creates a vicious spiral that makes everything worse. The solution? Learn to work with your thoughts and feelings rather than against them, focus your attention and efforts like a laser, and learn to show up even when you don’t feel motivated.

In this guide, we explain Hollins’s approach to self-discipline. In our commentary, we explore related perspectives from other self-discipline experts including Josh Waitzkin (The Art of Learning), George Leonard (Mastery), and Wim Hof (The Wim Hof Method). We also discuss the origins of the ideas Hollins shares and expand on key concepts with additional research from psychology and neuroscience.
