In 'The Comfort Crisis,' Michael Easter explores the idea that modern society's emphasis on comfort and convenience has led to various physical and mental health issues. Easter's journey takes him to diverse locations, including the Alaskan backcountry, Bhutan, and the labs of neuroscientists, to uncover the benefits of living at the edges of one's comfort zone. He discusses the concept of 'misogi,' a Japanese practice involving challenges that push individuals to their limits, and how such experiences can enhance creativity, reduce burnout and anxiety, and increase overall well-being. The book is a call to action, encouraging readers to break out of their comfort zones and reconnect with the natural world and their own potential[2][3][4].

www.twopct.comWe pulled the wise and powerful Dr. Trevor Kashey out of his learning lair to answer your questions.
Dr. Kashey has influenced my thinking more than any other person. You might remember him from The Comfort Crisis. He’s the super genius in chapters 14 and 15.
Dr. Kashey owns Trevor Kashey Nutrition, where he’s helped people lose a collective 300,000+ pounds. He’s also coached and consulted for gold medal winning Olympic squads and Fortune 500 Companies.
Michael asked Dr. Kashey to help us with two questions:
* How can I motivate myself to exercise more?
* I work a shift work job with non-traditional hours. What can I do to stay healthy?
The motivation question matters because understanding the fundamentals of motivation will help you build your life to do more of what you want to accomplish in any domain.
The shift work questions will help shift workers like medical professionals and first responders stay healthier. But the lessons can also help anyone design their life in a way that helps them lose more fat, improve their nutrition, and make better decisions.
