I, Claudius: From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 - by Robert Graves For the most part, I'm sure a good amount of people have heard these various concepts; however, I love that Easter makes these points and supports them with actual verified studies. That, I can definitely get down with because it does seem like another fad and/or fallacy such as 'dopamine fasting' and the like. The Comfort Crisis looks in depth at these questions and how our unending search for comfort and convenience has robbed us of much of our vitality and humanity.

Today’s comfort is tomorrow’s discomfort. This leads to a new level of what’s considered comfortable."

The Comfort Crisis was an excellent book. I am generally a fan of books about the fields of high performance, excellency, and mindset- so I put the book on my list as soon as I came across it. The author did a great job with this one.Gorgeous sunsets over crystal clear lakes, moonbeams glowing down through towering pines, and snow covered peaks during harsh winter storms.

Is it to transcend the problems of everyday reality and retire in comfort and serenity near the beach? Or is it to test our limits regularly and embrace the discomfort and challenges of being a human being? This is a question many of us take for granted.

I had many other problems with this book, which I'll try to be brief with below.
