How to make stress your friend | Kelly McGonigal | TED - YouTube
I've been a health psychologist for 10 years, teaching that stress is detrimental to health. However, a pivotal study has led me to reconsider the role of stress. This study followed 30,000 U.S. adults over eight years, finding that high stress increased the risk of dying by 43%, but only in those who believed stress was harmful. Those who didn't see stress as harmful had the lowest risk of dying.
