The Comfort Crisis: Rethinking Exercise and Convenience

Dr Lieberman is the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on how the human body has evolved to be the way it is, he also explores how humans evolved to run long distances to scavenge and hunt.

He is the author of the best-selling books, ‘The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease’ and ‘Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding’.

In this conversation Dr Lieberman and Steven discuss topics, such as:

• Sitting isn’t actually the new smoking
• The unseen health benefits of running
• The best exercises for a healthy life
• Why you don’t need 8 hours of sleep a night
• Separating the health myths from reality
• How the world has become too comfortable
