Uncomfortable Either Way: Why Choosing Easy Is Making Your Life Hard
Twenty-one proven strategies to bridge the gap between peak performance and personal fulfillment by embracing uncomfort
You can settle for a life you’re not fully satisfied or aligned with in order to avoid uncomfort (the uneasiness of change or uncertainty). But it comes at the dangerous cost of a deeper discomfort—a haunting sense of shame, disappointment, and regret about the life you could have lived, knowing you could have been happier, fitter, wealthier, and more confident and experienced deeper fulfillment along the way.
In the end, you’re going to be uncomfortable either way.
Instead of always choosing the easy way, caving to instant gratification, and avoiding short-term uncomfort, you can learn to embrace it to unlock lifelong joy, new skills and confidence, and life-changing experiences that are only accessible to those who refuse to settle for complacency.

I loved how this book was like Brett directly talking ato you- being real, inspiring, and presenting a blueprint for growth that can be applied to many areas (or all) of your life. Easy to listen to and follow. My favorite is that there are phrases and acronyms and stories that stay with you even when you put the book down.
