Publisher's summary

The truth is, we’re hardwired to seek comfort, but comfort usually doesn't move us in the right direction.

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 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 to 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 begin to see discomfort as an important step toward reaching your goals.

Wonderful!

This book was very easy to follow along with. The narrator did an excellent job. The content itself has been immensely insightful, and has given me tools to practice embracing discomfort in shyness, fear of conflict, and in discovering my purpose and values.

Excellent Book - Engaging Narration

Really helped to understand what it means to truly "embrace" the discomforts of life. Loved having tips from a psychologist perspective. The author was relatable!
