How is your book helping others?
Death by Comfort makes an impact with its very title. Value abounds in every chapter, each meticulously researched and supported by cutting-edge science. Perhaps the biggest impact Death by Comfort makes is its practical solutions to our complex health issues.
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 digital world is leaving us physically disconnected. The solution? Embrace discomfort. This book explores the science behind counting your steps, cold showers, intermittent fasting, ‘digital sunsets’, and much, much more.
Reading Death by Comfort offers a sense of relief. With every ‘aha’ moment – where complex physiology and psychology is simply explained, with accompanying practical tools – the reader is left with a true drive to positively impact their own physical and mental health.
