    • why challenges usually serve as litmus tests rather than something that produces growth
    • the problem with pursuing "toughness" in service of success
    • the problem of seeking out adversity
    • why compliance and consistency are not surefire paths to personal success, but more often paths to serving the needs of others

    • why we willfully ignore easy ways to improve our lives or selves
    • how 75 Hard and the culture it represents cause people to deepen their mental illnesses
