Death by Comfort: How modern life is killing us and what we can about it by Paul Taylor

We are ancient genomes in a modern
world, and it's not going well.

Modern humans are the most overweight,
depressed, medicated and addicted cohort
of adults that has ever lived, yet life has
never been so good!

Our sedentary lifestyles and ultra-processed
foods are making us overweight and sick.
Our thermoneutral environments are making
us soft. Our digital world is leaving us physically
disconnected. Clearly, something is wrong with
modern life.

The solution? Embrace discomfort. This book
explores the science behind counting your
steps, cold showers, intermittent fasting,
'digital sunsets', and much, much more -
and how it can improve your physical and
mental health.

Backed by powerful research, Death by Comfort
is a fascinating and entertaining exploration of
what we need to do in order to survive and
thrive in the modern world.
