RE: Stress and How to Take Control of It
It develops somewhat along the lines of dose response relationships and benefiting from stressors.
Yes and that is one of the points I was trying to make. We need a certain amount of stress.
It is not a simple dose response though - at least I have not seen anything that would support that. Like most biological parameters there seems to a healthy range.
Beyond a certain point/frequency it can be harmful and there is considerable evidence to back that up.
It is particularly so in those who have a genetic susceptibility to develop stress related illnesses and that may result in people overestimating how harmful it is.
Avoiding stress altogether is fragilizing (as also per Nassim Taleb)
I would agree with that.
you are disregarding adaptation.
I am not. Adaptation only works so far.
yep, it's here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5LG07Y/
If you do get a chance to take a look, I'd appreciate some feedback.
Cool will do - I'll need to check if it is in the UK store though - Kindle books are bit funny when it comes to territorial stuff.
Edit: Found it and got it!
it's in all kindle stores.
then you cannot say it's not a dose-response issue.
I think you misunderstand. I said it is not a simple dose response relationship by which I mean it is not necessarily linear as one might see for certain types of drugs.
Forgot to ask - can you send me a link to your book - is it on Kindle? I would love to read it:)
of course it's not. if you research dose-response relationships, you'll see there are of different types: linear, non-linear, supralinear, biphasic, and so on. anyway, I'm not gonna interfere with your rationale.
