MICHAEL EASTER | Seek and Embrace Discomfort

Our innate pursuit of comfort is the enemy of achievement and, yet, we've failed collectively to keep our biological hardwiring to seek the path of least resistance in check. Why is that? Why is it that we know we should seek discomfort yet find it so difficult to do?

That's the topic of my conversation today with Michael Easter, the author of The Comfort Crisis. Today, Michael and I discuss the damage of helicopter and "snow plow" parenting, the psychological programming that keeps us from achievement, the concept of Mysogi and embracing annual challenges, how a healthy relationship with death keeps people fulfilled, and ultimately what you can do to overcome the Comfort Crisis that permeates every fabric of society.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Life really isn't that hard
  • Parents seeking guidance from, rather thank giving guidance to, their kids
  • Snow plow parenting
  • Measuring happiness
  • The value in considering your own death
  • Challenges are required for true happiness
  • Finding the balance between seeking comfort and challenging ourselves
  • Why do we need to exercise
  • How do we push ourselves mentally and emotionally
  • The benefits and drawbacks of routine
  • Finding value in boredom
  • Put your ego aside: try to suck at something
