Summary

We are inclined to believe that if a little is good, more must be better. However, according to research, that isn't necessarily true. Most things (including exercise, money, stress) are good in some amount, but unhelpful and even dangerous in OVER abundance. The truth is this: more isn't always better. What a relief!
