What would it take for you to really love your life? To feel genuinely happy, positive, and fulfilled? The answer may be simpler than you think.

"This book will change the way you think about growth and comfort forever!"
— Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness

In this paradigm-shifting book, Kristen Butler, creator of Power of Positivity—an online community with 50+ million people globally—reveals a surprising secret: in a world full of self-sabotaging beliefs, the gateway to a life you truly love is found in the last place you'd think. It's situated safely in your Comfort Zone.

No matter what you've been told, your comfort zone is NOT your danger zone. It's not the place where dreams spiral down and die. It's the opposite. Kristen knows this firsthand. From a state of deep and chronic discomfort—at one point experiencing panic attacks so severe she couldn’t get out of bed—she transformed a life of merely surviving into a life of truly thriving.

In these pages, she shares how you, too, can find the key to:

· self-love and self-esteem
· feeling genuinely happy
· overcoming fear and inaction
· a mindset of gratitude, abundance, and success
· healthier boundaries in relationships
· stop cycles of burnout and start cycles of balance

Your comfort zone is not a static place where nothing grows. In fact, your growth depends on how fully you thrive in it. And The Key to Positivity unlocks the door to this inner sanctuary. Kristen gives you practical and research-based tools to help inspiration meet ease, creativity flow effortlessly, growth happen naturally, and positive emotions run freely. She leads you back to what's comfortable and natural for you to create a life you love with less stress and more flow. It's time to claim your best life now!
“This book will change the way you think about growth and comfort forever!”
— Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness
 
“We’ve all heard the truism that ‘growth happens outside of your comfort zone.’ Well, Kristen Butler is here to dispel this and show you the power of returning to what’s comfortable to create a life you love. This phenomenal and compassionate handbook will give you the tools you need to thrive from right where you are by expanding your comfort zone. That’s exactly what Kristen has done for herself—and she is now inspiring millions around the world to live a life full of abundance and joy.”
— Vex King, #1 Sunday Times best-selling author
 
“Kristen Butler is a thought leader in the mindset space. This is an area we sorely need to work on to improve flailing mind body health and burnout. Some may initially see this book’s counterintuitive premise and think, Wait, what? But once you understand the wisdom about how the comfort zone is NOT a barrier blocking you from your dreams—but quite the opposite—it will transform your life. This is what the world needs right now.”
— Dr. Amy Shah, double board-certified M.D. and wellness expert and author of I’m So Effing Tired
 
“This book challenges our perception of comfort zones and demonstrates how a healthier relationship with them can help us toward living our best life.”
— Simon Alexander Ong, author of Energize: Make the Most of Every Moment
 
“In this remarkable new book, Kristen Butler does more than just rewrite the popular myth that the ‘comfort zone’ is a stagnant place to be. She also shows us how and why the very opposite can be true—why, when we’re in a state of dis-comfort, our bodies don’t function at their peak, and we cannot therefore perform optimally to learn, create, and grow. The Comfort Zone is a must-read for anyone who wants to truly thrive.”
— Uma Naidoo, M.D., Harvard nutritional psychiatrist, chef, nutrition specialist, and international best-selling author of This Is Your Brain on Food
 
“I wish I had read this book 30 years ago. I made millions in the movie business, but I could have made 10 times more had I stayed in my comfort zone.”
— David Zucker, writer/director, Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Scary Movie 3 and 4
 
“This book will completely change the way you think about success, growth, and comfort. Kristen’s detailed explanation around the tools, habits, and mindset shifts that can help you expand your comfort zone rather than stepping out is practical and insightful. Read this book if you want a better life without the cost of burnout!”
— Dave Hollis, New York Times best-selling author and host of the Rise Together podcast
 
“Kristen’s authentic, compassionate, and personal account embraces you whilst giving you the courage to act with ease. It helps you release from the status quo of the ‘complacency and survival zones’ and into the exciting, powerful comfort zone. Her loving narrative creates a paradigm shift that will make you come alive. This book is packed with wisdom—read it, practice it, embody it.”
— Dr. Nilesh Satguru, medical doctor, writer, and high-performance coach
 
“Kristen Butler is taking positivity to the next level by teaching you how to expand what’s comfortable to you to achieve high levels of success. A must-read if you want your dreams without burnout.”
— Ayden Mekus, actor and content creator
 
The Comfort Zone is a powerful reframe and a necessary reminder that pushes us away from toxic hustle culture and toward the healthy, happy, and aligned lives that we deserve.”
— Michell C. Clark, speaker and author

— Elisha Covey, 8-figure entrepreneur, podcast host, and business consultant
 
“This work is revolutionary and will transform the minds and hearts of the world. Kristen has truly cracked the code by shattering the old ideology that the more you do, the more successful you are. She awakens the reader to a new perspective of living, being, and creating and gives them the simple step-by-step formula they can put into action immediately to achieve ultimate happiness and inner peace in their life. The world has been yearning for this wisdom, and it is finally here! This is one of the best books I have read in the last decade. Every human needs a copy.”
— Lauren Magers, creator of The Happy Life System
 
“Having experienced the benefits (both for myself and for the student athletes I coach) of Kristen Butler’s 3 Minute Positivity Journal, I was already an admirer and follower of her writings and insights. The Comfort Zone comes as a real eye-opener, though. I’m taken by her revelatory and empathetic approach to what a comfort zone can be when we allow ourselves to accept and embrace it. What a beautifully written guide to helping us reset how we see ourselves so that we can truly live our best lives.”
— Dominique Moceanu, Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast, New York Times best-selling author, and founder of Dominique Moceanu Gymnastics Center
