Kelly McGonigal is a convert. A health psychologist who teaches at Stanford University, for years she had held to the conventional view that stress is bad for you. 凯莉•麦戈尼格尔(Kelly McGonigal)改变了自己的观点。作为一名在斯坦福大学(Stanford University)任教的健康心理学家，她很多年里一直秉持传统的看法，即压力对人不好。 But when a few years ago she came across research which suggested that stress is bad for you only when you believe it to be damaging, she had to reconsider. Indeed, the same research found that people who lived with stress but did not view it as harmful were the healthiest people of all. 但几年前，她无意中看到了一项研究结果，认为压力只有在你相信它有害时才对你不好，之后她不得不重新思考自己的观点。事实上，同一项研究还发现，那些生活在压力之下但不把压力视为有害的人才是所有人中最健康的。 McGonigal started digging deeper into the subject and the result is this book, which argues that by recognising and working with stress, rather than trying to ignore or suppress it, we can perform better and achieve more. 麦戈尼格尔于是开始深入研究这一课题，成果就是这本书——《压力的好处》(The Upside of Stress)。书中认为，通过承认压力并在压力下工作——而非试图忽视或压制它——我们可以做得更好，取得更大成就。 |
