The Upside of Stress

Kelly McGonigal

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

What if I told you that "mind over matter" was true? This book is truly eye-opening as it shows: 1) Stress is a good thing, 2) Your mindset about stress will literally change the chemicals in your body to make stress a good or bad thing for you, 3) You can change how you think about stress as quickly as you're willing to change your mind. So much in life about performance in sports, test taking, public speaking, and more make more sense now because of this.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
