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

This book is one of the best things I've read in a long time. A game-changer even. Eye-opening (and concerning) perspectives on things like busyness vs boredom (creativity), technology vs nature, noise vs silence, santization vs immunity, indulgence vs hunger, fasting and cell renewal. A nice mix of story-telling and scientific data show how far our comfortable states have come from generations past, how so many of them are detrimental to us, and how we need to reverse course in a sense by getting (very) uncomfortable.

In modern times, we may live longer but we have overall poor physical and mental health, depression is on the rise and as humans we are weaker now than we were before. In many ways, the lives lived by our ancestors of hunters and gatherers gave them strength and mental fortitude. But what are we doing wrong and why our lives as comfort creeps have become detrimental to ourselves. The book alongside narrates a very engaging story of his adventure filled stories in Alaska,5/5

One of the best books read in 2023, highly recommend to anyone interested in the role of comfort and how it is killing us in the 21st century

Really, really good book that hits home...A very useful read for everyone, but especially for office workers who do not get in touch with nature a lot these days.

Really a game changer for life, reading this book can open your mind on a new perception of life. The core of the book is an awesome Alaska Backpacking Hunting adventure that the author use to analyze the moden way of life from a lot of points of view introducing new ways of thinking, act and more.Absolutely suggested.
