Description
Book Synopsis: Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print. Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick.
Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.
Details

In this latest edition, Sapolsky delves into new chapters devoted to understanding how stress affects our sleep patterns, addiction tendencies, anxiety levels, and personality disorders. He also sheds light on the profound influence of spirituality on stress management. Sapolsky elegantly elucidates that the diseases we often fear today, like heart disease and cancer, are the result of the hidden damage caused by chronic stress, not immediate threats like leprosy or malaria.
Our bodies respond to stress in a strikingly similar manner to animals. However, while animals can resolve conflict through physical responses, humans are unable to do the same. The prolonged activation of our body's stress response system leads to the development or exacerbation of various physical and mental ailments, including depression, ulcers, colitis, and heart disease. But fear not, as Sapolsky combines cutting-edge research with his trademark wit and practical advice, providing you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your stress responses and improve your overall well-being.
