Hello Friends! I’m really excited about this epiosode. You know I’m a nerd for all things scientific and related to the brain. This week, I sat down and talked with Michael Easter about the dangers of comfort, how we’ve gotten away from experiencing discomfort and discussed his new book, Comfort Crisis.

His work has appeared in over 60 countries and can also be found in Men’s Journal, New York, Vice, Scientific American, Esquire, and others. He lives in Las Vegas on the edge of the desert with his wife and two dogs.
