Today's episode is an excerpt from Jeff’s new audio program, “The Comfort Trap: The Ill Effects of Chronic Ease.” In this project, Jeff explores a profound yet overlooked paradox of modern life: our relentless pursuit of ease is undermining our health and resilience.

Yet despite that knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. His journey through that tragic loss ultimately led him to discover and write about the sixth stage of grief—meaning.
