Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky

5.0

This book is great - but I feel that it risks creating a downward spiral of stress, as the more one learns about the danger of stress, the more one worries about it right?! That said there is a decent amount of hope within this absolutely thorough tome on stress and stress-related disease. While much of the positive side is contained in one relatively short chapter to conclude, the majority of the book is still worthwhile as Sapolsky explores the myriad of related issues to stress including physical disease, immune responses, mental health, povery and so on.

Grabbing the latest edition is highly recommended as there is much updated throughout especially around latest scientific reveals and useful points.
