The Comfort Crisis explores how modern life has made us “too comfortable” — and how pushing ourselves into controlled discomfort can unlock greater strength, resilience, and fulfillment. It’s packed with powerful stories, scientific research, and actionable takeaways that perfectly align with what we believe at Aloha Athletics: that challenges are where real transformation begins.
Whether you’re training for a race, chasing a big goal, or just looking to shake things up, this book is packed with inspiration to help you grow tougher, happier, and more alive.
What to Expect:
📚 Independent Reading: Read or listen to the book at your own pace. 💬 Group Discussion: We’ll meet for a laid-back but powerful conversation about the biggest takeaways and how we can apply them to training, paddling, and life. ✨ Mindset Focus: We’ll also tie in strategies from our coaching programs to help you put these ideas into practice.
