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

Discover the evolutionary mind and body benefits of living at the edges of your comfort zone and reconnecting with the wild—from the New York Times bestselling author of Scarcity Brain. “If you’ve been looking for something different to level up your health, fitness, and personal growth, this is it.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and author of The Book of Boundaries “Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive In many ways, we’re more comfortable than ever before. But could our sheltered, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged lives actually be the leading cause of many 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. Easter’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. Along 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. The Comfort Crisis is a bold call to break out of your comfort zone and explore the wild within yourself.

Entfesseln Sie die evolutionären Vorteile für Geist und Körper, die sich aus der Auseinandersetzung mit der Natur, dem Annehmen von Langeweile und der Annahme harter körperlicher Herausforderungen ergeben. In diesem mutigen Aufruf, der die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Gesundheitswissenschaft mit Abenteuerliteratur verbindet, untersucht der Gesundheits- und Outdoor-Journalist Michael Easter, wie unser weiches, temperaturkontrolliertes, überernährtes und unterfordertes Leben uns tatsächlich schadet. Er argumentiert, dass wir nur durch das Akzeptieren von Unbehagen geistig schärfer, körperlich robuster und spirituell gefestigter werden können. Easters Erkundung führt ihn rund um den Globus, um viele der führenden Wissenschaftler und Rewilding-Experten von heute zu interviewen. Er reist zu einem genetischen Labor in Island, das ein Gen entdeckt hat, das uns widerstandsfähiger macht, ins mystische Land Bhutan, um zu studieren, was der Tod uns über das Glück lehren kann, zu einem geheimen Ort, an dem Soldaten der Spezialkräfte mit Forschern zusammenarbeiten, und in die abgelegene Wildnis Alaskas auf eine anspruchsvolle dreissigtägige Bogenjagd-Expedition und Naturreinigung in einem der letzten wilden Gebiete der Erde. Auf dem Weg dorthin entdeckt er, was er als Rewilding-Rezept bezeichnet: ein Rahmenwerk, um Unbehagen sowohl in der Natur als auch in uns selbst zu umarmen, das unsere Gesundheit und unser Glück dramatisch verbessern und uns helfen wird, wieder zu entdecken, was es bedeutet, menschlich zu sein. Die Befolgung dieses Plans wird zu einer höheren Lebenszufriedenheit, gesteigerter Kreativität und reduzierter Angst und Burnout führen. Verlassen Sie Ihre Komfortzone und erkunden Sie das Wilde in sich selbst.
