The Impact of the Human Stress Response: The Biologic Origins of Human Stress

by Mary Wingo

The Impact of the Human Stress The biological origins and solutions to human stress Modernization of our society has resulted in the devastating epidemic of stress-induced diseases, resulting in incalculable human suffering and trillion dollar losses worldwide each year. Author and scientist, Dr. Mary Wingo shares six rules for scientifically managing stress from her book, The Impact of the Human Stress The biological origins, causes and solutions to human stress, which will be released in April 2016. Stress is not only due to the threat or fear. Stress results because we attempt to adapt to our environment (chapter one). The disease occurs when this mechanism is overused or malfunctioning. It is critically important not to add extra stressors to the already stressed body part during the Resistance Stage (chapter five). The most intense stressors we are experiencing are between each other as social beings (chapter eight).Learning the skill of empathy is crucial. Along with repair, maintenance, and reproduction, we also spend much of our energy adapting to the environment. We must take a full inventory of our lives for the price we pay for always “adapting” (chapter two). When the stress response mechanism becomes fatigued, the affected body part becomes exhausted. These affected parts can include the mind, as well as all other organs. As we try to adapt to our environment, we must take note how much “novelty” we endure. If it is too much, we must limit our stimulation or our stress mechanisms will fatigue, limiting further attempts to adapt. About the The Impact of the Human Stress The biological origins, causes and solutions to human stress examine one of science’s burning issues - the epidemic of stress currently ravaging the Western world. Inflicting trillions of dollars of social and economic damage, stress is devastating our health. But what exactly is “stress”? And what gives it the potential to cause so much damage? In a groundbreaking account twenty years in the making, researcher and biologist Dr. Mary Wingo explains the root causes of stress, and how it harms our bodies. · Understand the causes of stress and learn how to manage it effectively · Find out why the stress response is essential for helping you adapt to your environment · Protect your health – learn how to avoid over-loading your body’s stress response Sharing astonishing insights into the way we cope with everything from freezing temperatures to social unrest, Dr. Wingo tells a fascinating story of how humans alter their physical states and how our bodies literally open or close their borders to help us adapt. Using simple, everyday language, Dr. Wingo vividly illustrates our current understanding of how the stress response works, and presents a how-to manual of science-based effective stress management. If you’ve ever wondered how you adapt to your environment and why constant exposure to stress is dangerous - this is a book you must read.

An excellent overview of stress that conveys a lot of important lessons about the subject matter in non-complex terms. My only complaint is that the author inserts a lot of unnecessary pictures into the text, which I felt failed to add the sense of charm to the work they were undoubtedly intended to achieve.

A Good Overview

Five stars because it is a good overview of manageable stressors to be aware of. A little disheartening how much of them are outside our control.
