Just finished reading "The Comfort Crisis" by Michael Easter.
Great book about how the comforts of modern day life have removed us from the hardy and resilient lifestyle of our ancestors. While this tradeoff has benefits, like being able to live in climate controlled comfort 365 days of the year, it also has consequences, like a rise in chronic disease, obesity, and declining mental health.
The author weaves together a story about his personal experience elk hunting in Alaska with research from professionals in a variety of fields to bring the ready on an exciting journey explaining the comfort crisis, while also providing solutions on how we can bring back some discomfort into our lives.
