On this episode, I reflect on one of the most important reads of the year for me — Kelly McGonigal’s book, The Upside of Stress. A psychologist and yoga teacher, Kelly’s book is filled with compelling research about how the way we think about stress may be more harmful for our health than stress itself!
I offer three important takeaways from the book including:
- The Challenge Response as a way to prime us for stressful events
- The Tend & Befriend Response as a way to help us reach out and connect to others
- How we can get better at stress
