Optimizing Your Stress | Modupe Akinola

Bu bölüm hakkında

Stress – which many of us despise and try to avoid – does not actually have to be a bad thing. Rather, it's our relationship to stress, our mindset about stress, that determines whether we are helped or harmed by it. Today's guest has the science to back this up and the practical tools to help you transfer her insights from the lab to your life. Modupe Akinola is an Associate Professor of Management at the Columbia Business School and host of the TED Business podcast. She is also one of the featured experts in our Stress Better course in the Ten Percent Happier app. In this conversation, Modupe talks about what she's learned during these extraordinarily stressful last couple of years, what she calls the "stress mindset" (and how to cultivate it), and the vast resources available to us for handling stress (and how to tap them). We also dive into another of Modupe's areas of expertise: how to have productive conversations around the often stressful–but critical–issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
