Make Life Easier by Making it Harder with Michael Easter

Michael Easter joins Forrest to explore why modern comfort hasn’t made us happier, and how deliberately adding the right kinds of difficulty can improve well-being. They cover how our biological wiring backfires in an age of abundance, the psychological trap of problem creep, and the lost skill of tolerating boredom. The conversation touches on the need for a mission, resilience, rucking, and the idea of the “super medium” body.
