Death by Comfort

Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived, yet life has never been so good! Our sedentary lifestyles and ultra-processed foods are making us overweight and sick. Our thermoneutral environments are making us soft. Our digital world is leaving us physically disconnected. Clearly, something is wrong with modern life. The solution? Embrace discomfort. This book explores the science behind counting your steps, cold showers, intermittent fasting, 'digital sunsets', and much, much more -- and how it can improve your physical and mental health.
