From the Hardiness podcast with Dr Paul Taylor

If you think ease and comfort are the keys to happiness, think
again. This episode explores how deliberately embracing life's
challenges, through movement, fasting, cold exposure, and mental
resilience, can transform your health, happiness, and purpose.
Grant Schofield, an esteemed researcher and author, reveals that
life's true reward lies in choosing the hard path, strong in the
knowledge that it leads to a more vibrant, resilient life.

Choose your path, and in doing so, choose your future. And for
those ready to take action, Grant’s new book Choose
Your Hard distils these powerful principles into
actionable step because the path to a better life is a deliberate
choice.
