Reading Escape from Comfort by Said Eshaghi felt like having a brutally honest, inspiring conversation with a close friend, the kind that challenges you to confront your truth and rise to a higher standard. What I appreciate most about this book is that it’s not written from a pedestal. It’s raw, real, and deeply relatable. Said doesn’t just offer frameworks and mindset shifts, he brings you into his own journey. The stories are vulnerable, sometimes uncomfortable, and always honest. That authenticity makes every lesson hit harder and stick longer. Each chapter is a wake-up call.
