Short clip of Joe Polish speaking about shifting from avoiding discomfort to embracing challenges as a path to personal growth. He recommends practical exercises (sauna, cold plunge) to intentionally expose oneself to difficulty, arguing this builds usefulness in interpersonal contexts.

You know, every freaking thing that's going to happen in life, it's always going to happen. But I interact with angst. I used to always try to run away from every bit of it, and now I, like, try to embrace it. And I'll tell you a good practice get into a sauna, get into a cold plunge. Create these situations where you are embracing and dancing with difficulty and you will get better. And when you can do that, you can really sit down with people and be a hell of a lot more useful.
