What you'll learn from this episode:
Why we're so collectively stressed out these days, what this does to us physically, and why our species evolved to experience stress.
Not all "stress" is created equal: the difference between distress and eustress.
We can't avoid stress—we can only change the way we approach it. Dr. Rabin helps us stock our toolkit to better manage stress in daily life.
The wearable technology Dr. Rabin helped develop that makes stress relief easier for patients with PTSD and other treatment-resistant ailments.
Why gratitude is a potent ward against anxiety.
And so much more!
