🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Michael Easter and Steven Bartlett, The Exercise Expert: This Popular Lifestyle Is Killing 1 Person Every 33 Seconds! Michael Easter explores comfort Crisis: Why Modern Ease Is Quietly Destroying Human Health, Happiness Journalist and author Michael Easter argues that modern life has become so comfortable and abundant that it creates an evolutionary mismatch, driving chronic disease, addiction-like behaviors, and rising unhappiness. Drawing on anthropology, psychology, and his own extreme experiments, he explains how our ancient brain—optimized for scarcity, effort, and small tribes—is overwhelmed by today's endless food, information, status, and digital rewards.
