Are We Turning Into Pussies?

Life has never been more comfortable.

Food arrives at the door. Entertainment is instant. Difficult conversations can be avoided with a text message—or no message at all.

But what if all this convenience is making us weaker?

In this episode, Pellegrino and Francois explore why emotional resilience seems to be in decline and why many of us struggle more than ever with criticism, boredom, rejection and discomfort.

They discuss parenting, ghosting, online trolling, personal responsibility and the surprising idea that some of life's most important lessons come from doing things we'd rather avoid.

The conversation raises a provocative question: Has modern life become so comfortable that we're losing the ability to deal with discomfort?

And if that's true, what should we do about it?
