TED Talk 2013: Kelly McGonigal “How to Make Stress Your Friend”

Kelly McGonigal’s talk on “How to Make Stress Your Friend”
Filmed June 2013 at TEDGlobal 2013.

“Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.”
