Changing your job, just like picking a partner or becoming a parent, is one of life's toughest challenges.

Master the Book in 4 Minutes » ​ A Book Brought to Life You know Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers? Because they never have to worry about what to wear tomorrow! There's more than a kernel of truth in this joke. Looking at the biological origins of stress in the human body and comparing it to the stress responses of animals — like Zebras — Robert Sapolsky learned several amazing lessons. For one, humans are the only animals that make up imaginary stressors where none exist! If only we could stop that, we'd reduce our stress levels by a great deal. Of course, the book has some ideas on that too. Here's what you'll learn in today's video summary: Our brain gets stressed in times of crisis, but sometimes, we're the ones making those crises up. The way to control your autonomic nervous system is to learn how it works. To deal with stress better, be a responsible person and support your friends and local community. If you want to be less stressed, more calm, and better respond to life's many challenges, watch this video. ​ ​ The Deal ​ "Since breaking up with my boyfriend of 8+ years last week, I have been carrying Nik's book with me upstairs and downstairs to read," Mochibear kindly said on Amazon about my book.
