In every area of life, from business to relationships to health, we act on outdated instincts that were built to help us survive a world ruled by scarcity and danger. But in today's world, those same instincts stop us from succeeding in the environment in which we actually live: a diverse world of abundant choices, and almost limitless connections. Now evolutionary biologist Dr. Rebecca Heiss offers a new approach that harnesses the power of our instincts, and redirects them to work for us rather than against us.

It’s exhausting reading the constant headlines about reducing and getting rid of stress to better our collective health. We’re all aware of the stress and mental health crisis most of us face, but the solutions that we’ve been offered are not only out of date, but they are also often counterproductive! Stress isn’t going anywhere. But that can be a good thing.
