3 MUST READ Books about Voluntary Discomfort
In this video I present the ancient stoic concept of Voluntary Discomfort and recommend 3 Books that you can read to dive further into the concept.
The books are The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter, Can’t Hurt by David Goggins and A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine. 3 books that approach the subject of Voluntary Discomfort from different angles and perspectives.
Voluntary Discomfort, Voluntary deprivation, comfort challenges, being comfortable with being uncomfortable… this concept from stoicism goes by many names, but the idea is simple; Allow discomfort — even cause yourself discomfort and adversity — from time to time and you will grow more resilient, grateful, and less fearful.
