Michael Easter's The Comfort Crisis explores how a life devoid of physical and mental challenges, or "over-comforted," is leading to chronic health issues and a loss of resilience. The book advocates for embracing intentional, controlled discomfort through concepts like "Misogi"—a massive yearly challenge—and daily practices like rucking and nature exposure to regain physical and mental toughness.

Easter calls this "the comfort crisis." Because our brains are still wired to avoid discomfort at all costs, we willingly fall into the comfort trap.
