We dive into the concept of Micro-Misogi, inspired by Michael Easter's book 'The Comfort Crisis'.

We discuss how modern conveniences have eroded our resilience and explore actionable steps to reintroduce purposeful discomfort into our lives.

Through discussing the guidelines for a successful Micro-Misogi, including being outdoors, solitary and device-free, challenging and unique, and fitting within a 4 to 48-hour timeframe, we aim to help listeners create transformative experiences within the constraints of everyday life.
