Why is it that some people react to seemingly trivial
emotional upsets--like failing an unimportant exam or
tackling a difficult project at work--with distress,
while others power through life-changing tragedies
showing barely any emotional upset whatsoever? How do
some people shine brilliantly at public speaking while
others stumble with their words and seem on the verge of
an anxiety attack? Why do some people sink into all-
consuming depression when life has dealt them a poor
hand, while in others it merely increases their
resilience? The difference between too much pressure and too little
can result in either debilitating stress or lack of
motivation in extreme situations. However, the right
level of challenge and stress can help people flourish
and achieve more than they ever thought possible. In THE STRESS TEST, clinical psychologist and cognitive
neuroscientist Ian Robertson, armed with over four
decades of research, reveals how we can shape our brain's
response to pressure and how stress actually can be a
good thing. THE STRESS TEST is a revelatory study of how
and why we react to pressure as we do, and how we can
change our response to stress to our benefit.
