My key take-aways from Michael Easter's book "The Comfort Crisis" are that we should occasionally expose ourselves to the following discomforts in order to be healthier and lead more satisfying lives, a.k.a the #goodlife:
-) Do really, really hard things from time to time.
-) Become comfortable with boredom.
-) Become comfortable with silence and solitude.
-) Let yourself feel hunger and be ok with it.
-) Think about your death every day.
-) Incorporate load carrying into your routine.
-) Don't sanitize yourself and everything around you to death.
I can definitely recommend this book. It's a perfect blend of hard science and adventure story. Easy to read, engaging and full of #wisdom.
