"I read The Comfort Crisis in three straight sittings and was so motivated and inspired that I immediately made changes to my daily routines.

"Breezy and yet bracing synthesis of tough adventures and hard science. Ironic, perhaps, for a book about how we need to challenge ourselves to be so enjoyable to read."--Robert Moor, New York Times bestselling author of On Trails: An Exploration

"An entertaining and thought-provoking adventure that weaves together findings from anthropology, physiology, neuroscience, and other disciplines. Easter makes a convincing case that happiness is more than the absence of cold, hunger, and boredom--in fact, a little discomfort may be exactly what we need."--Alex Hutchinson, New York Times bestselling author of Endure

"An unconventional clarion call to swim upstream against the currents of comfort and ease that we seek and have grown unquestioningly used to.

A good read that challenges conventional wisdom about living life."--James Clapper, former U.S. Director of National Intelligence

"Shows why human greatness seldom rises from a perch of comfort and ease--and what you can do to maximize growth and fulfillment."--Brian L. Losey, (ret) Commander of U.S. Navy Special Warfare Command

"Made me look differently at adversity, at challenges, at discomfort. Reading it made me want to be better, and a book simply can't deliver more than that."--Tamar Haspel, columnist, Washington Post
