Stress is intense. Mother's managing lots of different tasks at home and needing to control their reactivity when there's three kids crying. And needing to stay calm under pressure. Very, very much kind of the same type of need as someone on Wall Street or someone needing to make a putt. But being in control, having precise control over how your body responds to stress. It just has so many different applications. So what it's what you're saying, not to put words in your mouth, is that since more than athletes endure stress in our lives,. This system of understanding and manipulation of our own mind and body has no end of applications in this world.
Can we hack our bodies and our minds? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Gary O’Reilly and Chuck Nice talk about how to optimize human performance with performance and sport psychologist Leah Lagos, PhD.
