Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Ourselves to Extremes

Bag om Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Ourselves to Extremes

What do extreme eaters, MMA fighters, ultramarathon runners, and BDSM practitioners have in common? What drives some people to push their bodies and minds to the brink, putting everything on the line to test the bounds of their capacity? When Jenny Valentish worked through her own addictions, she became fascinated by extremes in their myriad and unexpected manifestations. In the darkly funny, brash, and irresistible Everything Harder Than Everyone Else, Valentish immerses herself in the lives of sex workers, body builders, and dedicated fighters and finds that many of the people she encounters have overcome addictions and trauma to find release and community where the stakes are at their highest.
