Embrace Discomfort with author Michael Easter: Episode 40
We always noticed that we feel more calm, more collected and happier after a 3-day backpacking 14er trip, but now we have all the studies/research that explain why. This is thanks to the recently-released book “The Comfort Crisis” by Michael Easter. In the book, Michael articulates all the research on “rewilding” and why things like: being in nature, doing hard things, pushing your comfort zone, getting away from phones, and carrying heavy loads is good for a healthy and happy self. Michael Easter joined the Non-Standard 14er Podcast in the latest episode to talk all about it. We mention a RAT question (a measure of creativity explained in podcast) during the episode, see if you can figure it out.
