Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers: The Acclaimed Guide to Stress, Stress-Related Diseases, and Coping by Robert M. Sapolsky

5.0

This book is simply terrifying.

Your mother was stressed during pregnancy? You will be addicted to drugs!
Your parents didn't hold you in the first months? Death in middle age by stroke!
Are you motivated and strive for perfection? Divorce, depression and guess it, death!

Most self-help books paint a picture of success, that playing with your food will make you a billionaire playboy, flowers and unicorns you get the gist and guess what, of course they don't work! (Well they work for their authors)

You know what works?
Explaining how you will die based on scientific research of the last 2 centuries and why you are doomed based on hard facts!

I am absolutely mortified after finishing this book and will start running daily again because I don't want to die!

5 stars!
