David Goggin's public persona comes to mind as an extreme example. He frames his journey as one that involved embracing pain and discomfort. Now he preaches it incessantly like a sort of addict to masochism. I think this highlights the point of the study which attempts to say, instead of avoiding discomfort one could welcome it with the added risk that you become some sort of firestarter in the sense that you now cannot sit with being comfortable.

A natural extension of this work may be to study at what point does burnout occur.

He's a rather an extreme example and probably not applicable to most situations we are involved in. Most things in life only required consistency and adherence to long term effort to achieve 'success'.
