Stress is the body's reaction to a perceived challenge that threatens (or that is perceived to threaten) the self. When we speak of the harmful effects of stress, we usually mean chronic stress- a persistent and unrelenting assault on our well-being. When chronic stress goes unchecked, there are hidden costs. These are withdrawn from your health account and from your balance of mind. In this talk, we'll do a cost-benefit analysis that accounts for well-being.
