Sinopse

As a society, we have come to accept stress as a fact of life. In the US alone, dramatically rising stress levels are taking a major toll on health and happiness, marriages, and business relationships. This show will examine the science behind stress: what causes it; how we define and measure it; what we can do to manage it successfully—and even turn it to our advantage. Psychology Today calls stress Public Enemy Number One.Abundant scientific research (ex: the documentary “Stress: Portrait of a Killer” by Nat’l Geographic and Stanford University) shows how chronic stress floods the body with corrosive hormones that shrink our brains, thicken our waistlines, confuse our chromosomes, and more. But there is also good news: counteracting stress’s negative effects, and leveraging “good stress” to our advantage, are skill sets that can be learned and quickly embedded through practice of few simple mental processes.
