Description

The Upside of Stress book came into Jason's life after praying about enjoying the journey. Stress is only harmful to your health if you believe it is. Stress paradox says happy lives include stress. Japanese life expectancy is longer despite more stressful lives. Channel stress into energy that boosts performance instead of trying to calm down.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Three lessons: stress harmful only if believe it is, stress paradox says happiness and stress belong together, channel stress into energy
• Japanese culture: longer life expectancy despite more stress, 52 times more expensive workers than China, resource deficient competing with superpower
• Study results: high stress increased premature death 43 percent only for those who believed stress harmful, others had lowest death rate
• Truck analogy: stuck in sand, put load on tailgate for traction to move forward, humans same need load to get unstuck
• PTSD research: less cortisol stress hormone predicted more PTSD, body naturally deals with stress when not running away

Stagnation and ease never was happiness, and when people say go do something you love they are not saying go do something easy but go do something you can be passionate about.
