51: Change Your Mind (Stress) w/ Kelly McGonigal

Where There's Smoke

It’s the Season 3 premiere and Brett and Nick are asking: “Is stress really THAT bad?”

To help them unpack this question they are joined by health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University, Kelly McGonigal. Kelly’s most recent book is The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good At It.

Brett and Nick ask:

What if everything you know about stress is but a fraction of the story?

What if the science you know about stress is just a story?

And what does any of this have to do with rodents and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Find out in this episode.

Plus, Nick & Brett are back with a fully cooked segment of WTSdigs!
