Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

Robert Sapolsky

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Michael Mauboussin loved it
And so he wrote a book called Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers in the mid 1990s, which it's a wonderful title and it's a wonderful book about the idea of stress.

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.
