Ike Eastman and Michael Easter dive deep into Michael's upcoming book "Scarcity Brain" and his book "Comfort Crisis". The podcast centered around the concept that humans have developed a fondness for comfort, but what if that wasn't our intended state? The discussion delves into how our pursuit of comfort may have caused some issues that require correction. They also discuss how our society can retrain our brains for better habits, potentially leading to more well-rounded individuals and hunters. It's definitely a conversation worth listening to!
