Suffering isn't optional. Life throws challenges our way, often unexpectedly. But that doesn't mean we're helpless. In Suffer Smarter: How to Choose Productive Discomfort to Create Lifelong Growth, by Sean Waxman (with Peter Hitzeman), you'll learn concrete strategies to improve how you handle adversity, discomfort, and stress through the lens of strength training.

Suffer Smarter begins by exploring how we got where we are, disconnected from and dissatisfied with our bodies as much as our day-to-day realities. It uncovers some sources of our internal dissonance, pinpoints our failed attempts to solve it, and dives into the value of intentionally selected discomfort.
