In Embrace Discomfort, 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. Each of the 10 episodes except for the final one will feature an expert in a discomfort area, including ultra-runner Courtney Dauwalter, survivalist Laura Zerra, nutritionist Dr. Trevor Kashey, and fear expert Dr. Joseph E. LeDoux

Award-winning author of NYT best seller The Comfort Crisis and the creator of 2%–a popular Substack and podcast—Michael Easter is a contributing editor at Men’s Health magazine, columnist for Outside magazine, and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

What I liked about the book is how the author was personally experienced in the subject matter of building, resilience through structured discomfort.. but he didn’t stop there. He brought in masters within their fields to contribute to the dialogue of self mastery, by way of embracing the uncomfortable for the purpose of building resilience. I highly recommend this book.

Simply outstanding

I really liked all of the tips and tricks - particularly the chapter on food choices.

Excellent content!

I enjoyed all chapters except for the one about “walking with weight” (aka rucking). The interviewee made no sense and the whole chapter sounded like an advertisement for their upcoming app.

Pretty good but..

I love the interviews and combination with the tips. The tips were very relevant! the majority came back in other self-improvement books but I heard some new ones which I will definitely try to incorporate in my life. The book was actionable and easy digestible.

The fact that audible will not just let me give a star rating they want me to do it paragraph and a half while I’m driving down the road because I like the book and I want to give them stars and then I wanna move on. I don’t wanna write a book about the book, just remember something will happen today

Powerful definitely works. I’ve been doing it without knowing it and it’s good to put a language with what I was feeling.

I had read "The Comfort Crisis", and was wondering if this would be the same. It is similar, but different enough it doesn't feel like you are reading the same book. It had very helpful tips and it was a fun read.

Love this!
