Kelly McGonigal, PhD, is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University, and a leading expert on the mind-body relationship. She teaches for the School of Medicine's Health Improvement Program and is a senior teacher/consultant for the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. Her work demonstrates the applications of psychological science to personal health and happiness, as well as organizational success and social change.
The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial and groundbreaking new book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress.
More than forty-four percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., delivers a startling message: Stress isn’t bad. In The Upside of Stress, McGonigal highlights new research indicating that stress can, in fact, make us stronger, smarter, and happier—if we learn how to embrace it.
The Upside of Stress is the first book to bring together cutting-edge discoveries on the correlation between resilience—the human capacity for stress-related growth—and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. As she did in The Willpower Instinct, McGonigal combines science, stories, and exercises into an engaging and practical book that is both entertaining and life-changing, showing you:
how to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stress
how stress can provide focus and energy
how stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationships
why your brain is built to learn from stress, and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences
McGonigal’s TED talk on the subject has already received more than 7 million views. Her message resonates with people who know they can’t eliminate the stress in their lives and want to learn to take advantage of it. The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a guide to getting better at stress, by understanding it, embracing it, and using it.
很久以前就听过作者有关压力的TED talk (https://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend), 当时觉得内容很有意思,但跟有时所处的状态有关,当下觉得有意思,然后就听过且过,没有走心。 去年年底的时候在经历的一波因为跟导师沟通巨大问题造成...
评分 评分本书分为两部分,第一部分通过一系列心理学研究,讨论了什么是压力,压力的好处。第二部分讨论了如何将压力转换为积极的动力。 麦格尼格尔在研究中发现,人们对压力的印象几乎都是负面的,忽视了压力的积极意义,“压力有害”的观点导致人们厌恶甚至逃避压力。逃避压力无法解决...
评分开年来,工作忙碌,加班加点,整个人阴晴不定,负面情绪爆满,勉强笑着和别人说话,但一个人的时候常常紧绷着脸,一副天塌了怎么办,要死了的样子,有身体的倦怠,有工作的压力,但更多的是心理的烦躁与抵触。 陆续看完了《自控力:和压力做朋友》这本书,想起很多,...
评分去年我曾写过一篇《那头名叫“自控力”的妖怪》推荐凯利•麦格尼格尔的旧作《自控力》,对我来说《自控力》是非常愉快的一段阅读体验,不仅有与自己体验的相互印证,丰富的实验数据支持,还有具体的日常实操指导。属于那种我会细细看一遍做笔记,然后时常把笔记翻出来看的那...
相比于对我的人生产生巨大影响的《自控力》,这本书带来的个人层面影响应该会小很多。具体到内容,这本以宣传思维方式为主,具体行动性建议少一些。不过依然是值得一读的。

评分哈哈,第二本读完作品,作者依然是斯坦福的教授,里面有很多科学依据说明压力对人的好处,以后不要总说压力山大,压力还是苹果呢!
评分有点意思,故事很多。stress means that something one cares about is on the line. Find that thing, and care about it properly. Also means fulfillment,
评分Can't day it works for me but comforting at least.
