Summary

The comfort zone – where things are easy and involve zero risk – is really an illusion of happiness, for real joy comes from pushing ourselves to explore our true, full potential. Join Michael and Monica as they share tips and tools for pushing through the limitations of our comfort zone and examine the myriad benefits that come with doing so.

We are meant to grow, be curious, have adventures, find fulfillment – and we certainly don’t do it by clinging to comfort. – Monica Berg
