Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

In this book, Robert M. Sapolsky delves into the fascinating world of stress and its impact on our bodies.

He explains why zebras, unlike humans, rarely suffer from stress-related illnesses.

Sapolsky combines cutting-edge research with practical advice and engaging anecdotes to illustrate how prolonged stress can cause or intensify a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, and heart disease.

The book also provides essential guidance on managing stress responses and offers new insights into how stress affects sleep, addiction, anxiety, and personality disorders.
