Description
Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers offers an accessible, science-based exploration of how stress evolved as a short-term survival response—and how modern life can transform it into a chronic threat. Drawing on biology, endocrinology, psychology, and medicine, the book examines the effects of stress hormones such as cortisol on the body and their connection to a wide range of stress-related illnesses. It also considers the roles of personality, relationships, work, and social circumstances in shaping our ability to cope. Insightful and often engaging, this guide translates complex research into practical perspectives on managing stress and supporting healthier, more resilient aging.
