Summary of Ben Aldridge's How to Be Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are many ways to develop mental toughness, from studying philosophy and popular psychology to practical concepts and challenges. You can start with Ancient Greece and end up in an ice bath cursing me.

#2 Stoicism was a philosophy developed by the Romans that focused on self-discipline and self-improvement. It was popular in ancient Rome, but was replaced by Christianity. It has since had a resurgence of interest.

#3 The Stoics believed that you have little control over external events. They believed that your response to those events is your choice. You can choose to play it cool and not get annoyed, or you can choose to make a new slice of toast.

#4 The Stoic attitude is to face difficulties head on and not to complain about them. You are always in control of your reaction, so don’t let anything affect you negatively.
