Stronger by Stress (Unabridged‪)‬

Stress is often associated with something negative and harmful.

It's true that being chronically stressed out is linked to many diseases and accelerated aging. However, small amounts of it can actually be beneficial.

There are many examples of something damaging actually being good for you, such as exercise or taking a sauna. This describes the biological phenomenon of "hormesis" also known as "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger".

Stronger by Stress is a manual for stress adaptation and hormesis. It's going to teach you the principles of stress science and how to leverage different beneficial stressors to become healthier, stronger, less worrisome, more resilient, and confident in your life.

Here's what this audiobook will teach you:

What is stress and how it affects your health
Difference between good stress and bad stress
Hormesis: What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
How stress adaptation makes organisms live longer
What kind of foods promote stress management and adaptation
Different nutritional strategies for hormesis
Strategies for strengthening the immune system
Beneficial environmental stressors
The most adaptable mental operating system
How to recover from stress rapidly
How to reduce the negative effects of stress

Stressful situations and conditions are something we all have to deal with in different forms. The world we live in now is not the same as it was in the past and thus our toolkits will also have to change. We need more resilient humans now more than ever.

By leveraging the information in this audiobook, you can experience both general as well as specific adaptations to the various stressors you may come across in life.
