Death by Comfort
How Modern Life is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It
Book • 2022
Death by Comfort delves into the mismatches between our ancient genes and the modern world.
It highlights how modern life, characterized by sedentary lifestyles, ultra-processed foods, and thermoneutral environments, is making us overweight, depressed, medicated, and addicted.
Backed by research in neuroscience, anthropology, and nutrition, the book offers practical advice on incorporating stress, diet, exercise, and social connection to build resilience and improve overall health.
Taylor argues that avoiding discomfort can be hazardous and instead advocates for using stress to become stronger, healthier, and more socially connected.
