Michael Easter | The Shocking Truth About Your Brain's Addictions | MTNPOD #23

Michael Easter, a leading voice at the intersection of modern science and ancestral wisdom, enhances health, meaning, and performance through global adventures with intellectuals, monks in Bhutan, Bolivian tribes, US Special Forces, Icelandic scientists, Iraqi underworld figures, and Fortune 500 CEOs. His bestselling book, "The Comfort Crisis," translated into 10 languages, has influenced MLB teams, NCAA programs, universities, corporations, and military units by bridging measurable data with immeasurable human experiences across medicine, anthropology, theology, and philosophy. Featured in Men's Health as a contributing editor, Outside, Esquire, and more, Easter has appeared on podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and NPR, sharing insights endorsed by CIA directors, Navy SEALs, Olympians, and Pulitzer winners in over 60 countries. As a UNLV journalism professor and co-director of the Public Communications Institute, he lives on Las Vegas's desert edge with his wife and dogs, Stockton and Conway. Through his 2% Substack—rooted in the idea that only 2% choose the rewarding harder path—Easter delivers practical, science-backed health and wellness advice via free bi-weekly posts and premium subscriptions, fully endorsed by MTNTOUGH for self-improvement and growth.
