Sinossi
"Lo stress fa male al cuore, lo stress è causa di insonnia, lo stress è... tossico". E se tutto questo fosse sbagliato? Se cambiare la nostra opinione sullo stress ci rendesse più felici, più sani e più capaci di raggiungere i nostri obiettivi? In questo libro Kelly McGonigal offre una prospettiva completamente nuova: ci rivela il lato positivo dello stress e ci mostra esattamente come sfruttarne i vantaggi. Lo stress non è sempre nocivo, in molti casi ci rende più forti, più intelligenti e più felici. Può favorire le interazioni sociali e rafforzare l'empatia. Dunque, invece di cercare una via di fuga e di evitarlo, possiamo accettarlo in modo che diventi la chiave per il nostro benessere. Kelly McGonigal riesce a combinare scienza, storie di vita ed esemplificazioni pratiche in un volume coinvolgente e facile da leggere. Qui non si forniscono istruzioni per sbarazzarsi dello stress, ma per coglierne i benefici, comprendendolo, accogliendolo e sfruttandolo al meglio. Prepariamoci a non stressarci più per lo stress.

Turns out that we got it all wrong when it comes to stress. I first found about the book through her TED talk titled "How To Make Stress Your Friend". Also you might have heard of Kelly before through her first book "The Willpower Instinct" which changed the way we think about willpower. I can safel Leggi tutto
five stars topic-wise, three stars book-wise. topic-wise: took a belief i've had trouble with ("stress is bad") and made a good argument against it. book-wise: i ended up skimming more as i read and found it tough to pay attention to the millionth study showing stress is (spoiler!!) not bad memorable Leggi tutto
The idea this book conveys (through a survey of studies and stories) is not bad and could be considered even surprising: stress is not bad by itself, but our (bad) perception of it is. However, I do not see why 304 pages are needed to transmit the idea. In addition, I do not think it engages the rea Leggi tutto
(I read this as part of my personal life, not as a professional critic, which is why this review does not appear at the website of my arts center, CCLaP.) I randomly stumbled across this book at my neighborhood library a couple of weeks ago, not knowing anything about it or about McGonigal herself; I Leggi tutto
Very similar to **Mindset** by Carol Dweck, with one main point that stayed with me: Only when you expect stress to kill you, or at least harm you, it will. Otherwise, there is no significant impact of stress.
