This week I'm joined by Ben Aldridge @dothingsthatchallengeyou. Ben is writer, speaker and comfort zone leaver. He writes about practical philosophy, mental health and adventure by exploring Stoicism, Buddhism, CBT and popular psychology. All of which have culminated in his book 'How to Be Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: 43 Weird & Wonderful Ways to Build a Strong Resilient Mindset'

The book encourages the reader to feel more alive by putting themselves into strange and uncomfortable situations which Ben himself has tried and tested as a way to overcome his own anxiety.

These challenges range from long term achievements to everyday tasks and we discuss Ben's own experience of anxiety as well as the different challenges he has gone through all in the name of this project.

Ben is down to earth, friendly and so calming to chat to- this is definitely one to listen to if you yourself suffer with anxiety.
