The number one correlate to a meaningful, purposeful life. It's stress. Nothing is broken in you. You're not doing it wrong. You're not meditating wrong or getting massages wrong. Like stress is part of life and it should be. So stop stressing yourself out about stress and use it differently. That's Doctor Rebecca Heist. She's a stress expert dedicated to transforming our fears into fuel we can use through her T minus three technique.
Her research has been designated transformative by the National Science Foundation. Her new book, Springboard, Transforms Stress to Work for You, reveals how stress unlocks greater performance, meaning, and purpose. So you'll learn one. Why stress fuels meaning and purpose? Two the formula that helps harness stress, and three, the six minute practice that reframes stress.

Rebecca, welcome. Well, thanks so much for having me on, Pete. I'm excited to be here. Well, I'm excited to be Chatton. Your research has been designated as transformative. I like this. This is important. The air quotes. The transformative. It is. Yeah, it's crazy, right? Tell me, what is this transformative research? Well, I'm a stress physiologist and rather than telling people to get rid of their stress, I help them to transform their stress and actually have it serve them. So I think you know, it's a Fool's errand to try and get rid of stress these days.
