Episode notes

This chapter contrasts physical challenges with a unique mental test - avoiding complaints and negative thoughts for 24 hours. It explores the value of fostering mental resilience through small daily challenges while also mentioning intriguing physical adventures like an underground race and a motorcycle journey through Africa. Additionally, it delves into the Barkley marathon, a rigorous 100-mile race known for its eccentricities and intense requirements, reflecting on society's evolving perspective on pain and challenges.

Episode 568: Shaan Puri (https://twitter.com/ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (https://twitter.com/theSamParr) challenge each other to the Japanese practice of misogi, plus they’re breaking down the new economy of suffering.
