E672 - Why Doing THIS Instantly Lowers Your Stress

I sit down with author Michael Easter to explore how modern life's endless comforts and technological conveniences are quietly making us weaker. We discuss how intentionally embracing short-term discomfort, getting out into nature, and finding our personal edge can build deep psychological resilience. Michael breaks down the concept of a "misogi"—a massive annual challenge with a 50-50 chance of success—and shares how stepping out of our comfort zones transforms our perspective on daily stress. We also dive into his personal journey with sobriety, the psychology behind low-friction distractions, and why cultivating intentional solitude is essential today.
