Inhaltsangabe

The truth is--we're hardwired to seek comfort, but comfort is very bad for us

Every day we face a thousand choices between what is best and what is easier. And most of the time, we'll choose what's easier, which is why we so often feel frustrated, anxious, and disconnected. But when you learn to embrace the uncomfortable as the gateway to better things, everything changes. Embracing Uncomfortable teaches you how to

  • recognize what you need to do next to find purpose and joy
  • develop the courage to radically accept your situation as it is
  • have the courage to do what it takes to move forward

You'll learn practical skills that help you pursue and fulfill your purpose, like "practicing the pause" and "balancing your emotions." Discover the freedom and joy that will fill your life when you no longer fear discomfort but see it as an important step toward reaching your goals.
