“Why Comfort Zones Aren’t Deserving of the Criticism They Receive”

What is it that empowers otherwise normal people to do extraordinary things? Alex Honnold climbed a 3,000 foot cliff with no ropes. Charles Wim Hof ran a marathon in the arctic. So what’s their secret?  We’ve all heard that comfort zones are bad; that they keep us from success, relationships, and happiness.

Bennett is currently researching and preparing a TEDx talk that seeks to examine and challenge society’s protracted rebuking of the comfort zone phenomenon. The talk will produced and presented by and through TEDxPepperdineUniversity.
