'Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.' – Jeremy Vine
'Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.' – Oliver Burkeman
Why do we feel stress? And how can we change things?
Stress Tested is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is the book exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you.
You’ll learn how stress impacts and interacts with:
One thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In Stress Tested, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. It’s not your fault if you’re stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it.
