SUMMARY:Access Wisdom Book Club: The Comfort Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Certified life coach Diane MacKinnon leads a bookclub 
 highlighting books that help us all gain more access to our own wisdom. 
 We’ll discuss a range of books\, from self-help to memoir to creative 
 nonfiction\, that give us insight into our own minds and help us take 
 action and live out our values. \n\nThis month's book is The Comfort Crisis 
 by Michael Easter\n\n \n\nAbout the book: In many ways\, we’re more 
 comfortable than ever before. But could our sheltered\, 
 temperature-controlled\, overfed\, underchallenged lives actually be the 
 leading cause of many our most urgent physical and mental health issues? In 
 this gripping investigation\, award-winning journalist Michael Easter seeks 
 out off-the-grid visionaries\, disruptive genius researchers\, and 
 mind-body conditioning trailblazers who are unlocking the life-enhancing 
 secrets of a counterintuitive solution: discomfort. Easter’s journey to 
 understand our evolutionary need to be challenged takes him to meet the 
 NBA’s top exercise scientist\, who uses an ancient Japanese practice to 
 build championship athletes\; to the mystical country of Bhutan\, where an 
 Oxford economist and Buddhist leader are showing the world what death can 
 teach us about happiness\; to the outdoor lab of a young neuroscientist 
 who’s found that nature tests our physical and mental endurance in ways 
 that expand creativity while taming burnout and anxiety\; to the remote 
 Alaskan backcountry on a demanding thirty-three-day hunting expedition to 
 experience the rewilding secrets of one of the last rugged places on 
 Earth\; and more. Along the way\, Easter uncovers a blueprint for 
 leveraging the power of discomfort that will dramatically improve our 
 health and happiness\, and perhaps even help us understand what it means to 
 be human. The Comfort Crisis is a bold call to break out of your comfort 
 zone and explore the wild within yourself.
