Summary
Our stress response system is magnificent-it operates beneath our awareness, like an orchestra of organs playing a hidden symphony. When we are healthy, the orchestra plays effortlessly, but what happens when our bodies face chronic stress, and the music slips out of tune? The alarming rise of stress-related conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression, show the price we're paying for our high-pressure living, while global warming, pandemics, and technology have brought new kinds of stress into all our lives.
But what can we do about it? Explore the fascinating mysteries of our hidden stress response system with Dr. Wulsin, who uses his decades of experience to show how toxic stress impacts our bodies. He gives us the expert advice and tools needed to prevent toxic stress from taking over. Chapter by chapter, learn to help your body and mind recover from toxic stress.

Worryingly accurate insight into modern life
Whilst highly focussed on the USA, the patterns of behaviour exhibited by many corporations towards their staff - use 'em up and spit 'em out - which are discussed in this book, continue to spread across the planet and make insecurity and overconsumption of non-essentials our modern baseline.
Wulsin's take on this seems to tally with what I have observed is delivered well by David de Vries - some say his voice is a little robotic, I'd say it is the clear voice robots might want to mimic :)
The insights into the comparative costs and methods by which various societies seek to address the stress of modern living and the resulting anxieties experienced along with other physical and mental burdens are both startling and, perhaps, predictable - with the US seeming to spend more to get less with it's largely 'for profit' healthcare system.
I'm not sure I fully found the "What We Can Do About It" part of the book so comprehensive - maybe I need to listen again :)
This is a fairly comprehensive work and doesn't use too much flowery language, so expect to need to concentrate :)
Thanks Lawson and David for this up-to-date work.
