Summary

#642: Today, we're sitting down with Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis & Scarcity Brain, and a professor at UNLV. He writes and speaks on how humans can leverage modern science and evolutionary wisdom to perform better and live healthier lives. Michael joins us for a discussion on getting uncomfortable and why it's important for long-term success. He dives into his experience with addiction and finding sobriety, and how this impacted his viewpoint on the comfort crisis that the world is currently living in. We discuss everything from how to be aware that you're too comfortable, the benefits of doing hard tasks, and tips to escape the toxic habits that are holding you back.
