In this week’s episode, Australian Rewilding Facilitator and writer Gina Chick, British-born essayist and novelist Pico Iyer, and Indonesian travel writer Agustinus Wibowo join Krishna Sen in an extraordinary conversation on seeking discomfort, showing how embracing fear, trying new things, and taking risks makes discomfort a catalyst for growth rather than an obstacle to development.
