Comfort is not the answer. It is discomfort. In his book, The Comfort Crisis, Michael Easter discusses that our sheltered, sterile, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged, lives are the leading cause of many of our most urgent physical and mental health issues. Since reading Easter’s book, JP has pursued discomfort - which led him to running 120 miles across Ireland in under 40 hours in The Kerry Way ultra-marathon. JP shares his journey from inspiration to perspiration as he explores the value of running toward discomfort and lessons learned along the way. √ The Challenge of the Misogi √ Getting to the starting line √ Getting to the finish line √ …And everything in between Get Your Copy of JP's Newest Book, The Culture System, now at: myculturesystem.com Become Part of Our Mentorship Program (Click here tocculture.com for more information).
