This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang, today we're going to challenge the way you think about stress. That word stress has uh negative connotations for pretty good reasons. Stress is often what kills us in the end.
It uh corrodes the mind and the body. You want to avoid it as much as possible. Except there are certain kinds of stress that we actually need. It's what my guest today. calls good stress.
My guest's argument is that many aspects of modern life are making us sick. Our chronic need for comfort, our sedentary lifestyles, our constant feeding. These things put us out of alignment with evolution. In other words, we live in a world with too much bad stress and not enough good stress.
