The Comfort Crisis

Probably worth the read, but I do have reservations with presenting just being less comfortable/doing ‘hard things' as a sort of cure-all. Near the end of the book Easter says that after coming back from his trip he implicitly understood that his modern “problems” weren't really problems, but not all problems that people in developed countries go away with a little hiking or hunting. I feel like a little appreciation for this would have helped the book seem less annoying in this respect, definitely would have given more credence to all the perspective Easter couldn't stop mentioning he was gaining. An obvious example of what I mean is an example of a Special Forces soldier that does tons of hard things and exercises and is insanely fit, yet suffers from PTSD that more hiking isn't going to wash away.

I am kind of nitpicking though, because I think it introduces a lot of worthwhile ideas that almost everyone in rich countries could use today.
