    For all the college students, if you click on the three dots on the bottom of the video and click “open transcript”, you can get a written version of the video. It has time stamps so you can scroll down to find the answers to whatever questions you need. This saved me from watching all 55 minutes of the video. Hope this helps!

    "the problem in our society is that we don't value stress reduction. we in fact value the opposite: we admire the person who not only multitasks and does two things at once, but does five things at once. we kinda admire that person, 'how do they manage that?', you know. well that's an incredibly stressful way to live. we have to change our values and value people who understand a balanced and serene life."

I actually have two x husband's and one has passed but i will tell you they both were high strung people on the go all the time and would insenuate that i was lazy although i kept a spic and span home but they both ended up with high blood pressure and one has past from an accidental fall but he was on two different BP meds so I've been lucky in that department so far at least but I'm glad im a very calm person because it does make a difference and i run a very peaceful home.

      @@yvonnekerezman6144 I'm sorry to hear about the troubles from your past and I'm glad to hear you recognize and appreciate your calm nature now, which allows you to live a more peaceful life. Reading your comment really validated the stress and burden I feel in not wanting more in life, or at least not wanting to be so busy. This semester, I returned to school for the first time in nearly two years. During my break and my time since returning, I have tried to console myself, saying you don't have to be on the same path as others or it's okay to be different. But this whole time, I still blame myself for not wanting to be as ambitious or driven. I kept asking myself why I didn't want more from life. While I know there are more reasons that underlie why I don't, I feel a bit better from this video and your experience that I don't have to be so serious or so worried about my achievements in life. I know there is a lot I have to work through (with my own trauma), but thank you for making me feel like I'm a bit normal. Haha, and I'm sorry to dump all of this.

We watched our peers get fired just for being late 3x by 5 minutes to work, for instance. GenX doesn't complain - we keep our heads down and get our work done. We do secretly watch you though. We see the boomers and their judgement but you know what, we're also in the elevator and hear your judgments too! Wishing you the best.

    Worksheet on Stress Video - I hope someone finds this and makes use of it :)
    1. According to the video, where in our bodies do we gain weight when we are stressed? How is this fat different from the other fat in the body?
    We gain fat in the abdomen and it is special because it produces different hormones altering the effect it has on your health even further.
    2. In Robert Sapolsky’s research on monkeys, there was a tragedy which occurred that changed the group’s dynamic forever. What happened to the group and who was affected?
    The baboon troop got infected with tuberculosis after eating bad meat, however the dominant males were the ones mainly affected. This meant the females and timid males were the only ones left, changing the group to be much more passive and far less hostile.
    3. What did the video say about social dominance and those who are lower on the hierarchy? How are each affected?
    People that are lower on the social pyramid suffer higher stress levels from things like lack of control. This can cause bodies to be much less efficient and it can even lower immune systems leading to shorter lives.
    4. Name three specific ways that stress affects our bodies/brain according to the video
    One way stress affects our bodies is by forcing us to only power the essentials like our senses. This can cause other functions like the reproductive system or the immune system to shut down. The immune system shutting down increases risk of disease and even death.
    The system that controls our metabolism also slows causing us to gain stress weight. This stress fat also provides hormones that have a worse effect than normal fat.
    Our brains are affected because stress can lead us to different types of memory loss, poor blood flow, and flat out stupidity. These can make it even harder to get out of unnecessary long-term stress.
    5. According to the video, what causes ulcers?
    Primarily a type of bacteria. However most of us have this bacteria so it's the stress that lowers our immune system’s walls allowing the bacteria to take over.

    Sapolsky's most impactful finding and philosophical statement comes at 48:00... "We belong to multiple hierarchies. And you may have the worst job in your corporation-and no autonomy and control and predictability-but you're the captain of the company softball team that year, and you better bet you are going to have all sorts of psychological means to decide it's just a job-9 to 5-that's not what the world is about. What the world is about is softball; 'I'm the head of my team, people look up to me.' And you come out of that deciding you are on top of the hierarchy that matters to you."

    Stress is one of the most recognized factors of total health, and can be the elephant in the room when it comes to a variety of chronic diseases. Health professionals typically keep stress management to vague notions of "taking it easy", "try meditation", "sleep more"... while these textbook remarks fit standard of care of medicine, they still leave the average person no practical steps to live by. I think it's important to organize a practical, simple step by step approach that is personalized.

    Yes. One of the best suggestions in the video is to give to others. No matter how low you are on the totem pole at work, you can make your life meaningful by contributing to others - tutor kids, help feed the poor, donate your time, set up a feral cat organization. Like they said about being captain of the local baseball team, you focus on your outside-of-work life, understand that there's more to life than your job, become somebody important in your own social circle. And love each other.

    Very eye opening indeed. It's a shame only 384,000 people have viewed this video.
    It might look like a big number but it's tiny compared to how many people are negatively affected by stress and the millions it costs our economies each year.
    At least this documentary aids in our mission to raise awareness that stress is a huge problem and that there are ways to reduce it's impact on individuals and companies so we can all live better.

    I found this a very fascinating Video and am glad it is available @TH-cam. I made a lot of connections with the prevalence of stress in human society, the different hierarchies we live with often without conscious awareness and how stress impacts heavily on our personal relationships in life. We need to see the positive and negative qualities of stress in our lives and aim to maximize positive stress and minimize negative stress. Seek progress more than the endless pursuit of perfection.

    There's another way too,no matter how your world is,its your choice/way that you react to it that governs your condition,simply being recognized or valued is not enough,we over time burden our self with a whole spectrum of conditioning,we can sit alone and allow that conditioning to influence us,therefore never allowing our self to just be and settled/at ease,if our surroundings/social structure has so much influence on us,then not allowing it to have influence,has the same benefits.
