The Comfort Trap

In The Comfort Trap: The Ill Effects of Chronic Ease, Jeff Krasno explores a profound yet overlooked paradox of modern life: our relentless pursuit of ease is undermining our health and resilience. In a world where convenience is prioritized, our bodies and minds face a mismatch between our ancient evolutionary wiring and today’s cushioned environment.

This illuminating guide dives into how our instincts for survival, designed to thrive under occasional stress, are ill-suited to our era of ultra-processed food, digital overstimulation, and constant comfort. The Comfort Trap empowers you with ways to extend your healthspan, rekindle your vitality, and age well.

You’ll learn:

1. How ultra-processed, calorie-dense foods exploit survival mechanisms, fueling weight gain, metabolic issues, and chronic health problems—and what you can do about it!

2. Why sedentary lifestyles lead to poor posture, back pain, and cardiovascular issues—and how movement can act as medicine.

3. The effects of constant digital stimulation on focus, anxiety, and stress, with strategies to reclaim cognitive clarity and calm.

4. How reliance on climate control reduces immune resilience, and why natural temperature variations are key to metabolic health.

5. The physical toll of modern footwear, synthetic clothing, and passive furniture on muscle strength and movement, with tips to restore natural alignment.

6. And there are four BONUS guided meditations by Jeff.

The Comfort Trap is a call to action if you’re ready to move beyond comfort and rediscover lasting well-being. Learn how to reconnect with your body’s innate design and cultivate a resilience that thrives, no matter your age. 

This is the perfect audio companion to Jeff’s book, Good Stress: The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things.
