‘Honest, witty and insightful’ Emma Gannon

‘A brilliant, useful book’ Dawn O’Porter


‘Farrah makes you feel very comfortable with being uncomfortable – something you probably didn’t know you needed to be until reading this book‘ Emma Barnett

In her first book, Substack’s Head of International and former magazine editor Farrah Storr, reveals how stepping into your discomfort zone can supercharge your success.

While it is human nature to shy away from things that are outside of our comfort zone, it is only by spending time in our discomfort zone that we can grow, and improve, and realise our full potential. Whether it’s putting yourself forward for a new challenge, asking for difficult feedback, nailing a presentation or getting a dream job, in this book Farrah Storr shows how you have to push through what she calls “brief moments of discomfort” in order to get to where you need to be.

Full of advice, practical exercises and examples both from Farrah’s own life and career and other successful figures, from athletes to entrepreneurs, this book will show you that anything is possible if you embrace your discomfort zone.

The Discomfort Zone is a book that we all so desperately need. Farrah has a way of lighting a fire inside of you with her words, her journey and her spirit. I urge you to read this book, deal with those feelings that are holding you back and thrive in the discomfort zone
Viv Groskop, The Pool
An excellent book
Sophia Amoruso, author of #Girlboss
Farrah has written a book about the things no one wants to talk about: failure, discomfort, and how to deal with both. When are we pushing ourselves to greatness vs. pushing ourselves to do too much? Farrah answers these questions, and poses new ones, with humour and grace.
