DEATH BY COMFORT How Modern Life Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It

The health expert Paul Taylor narrates with relaxed pacing and an alluring British accent that make this audiobook a delight to hear. Combined with his accessible writing and impressive research and recommendations, his relaxed performance creates a wonderful atmosphere for engaging with this kind of guidance. He says that today's modern conveniences, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles reduce our quality of life and weaken our resistance to stress, illness, and physical injury. He also notes that our near-constant connection with our computers and smartphones keeps us from achieving the comfort and shared purpose we are biologically wired to enjoy. By embracing social and performance challenges and physical discomfort like cold showers or intermittent fasting, we can toughen ourselves to handle anything that comes our way.
