Hello, kettle.
I'm pot.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Mike Mann, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
What are the benefits of feeling uncomfortable?
I'm hot.
I'm cold.
I'm a little scared.
I'm a little confused.
I'm a little frustrated.
Angela, today we have an amazing question about getting uncomfortable.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm already uncomfortable.
This is so awkward.
Here we go.
Dear NSQ, in a recent episode of the show, Angela said that in today's day and age, the discomfort that people have with negative emotions is unhealthy.
So I was wondering, as a society, are we getting progressively less tolerant of all kinds of discomfort, physical and psychological?
And is that such a bad thing?
Hasn't intolerance for discomfort motivated the development of technological advances to improve our situations?
