Welcome to the commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Okay, today I'm featuring an excerpt from the audio version of my new book, Good Stress, The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things.

This book distills the hundreds of interviews I've done here on the podcast and a whole

lot of me search into a consolidated guide for well-being.

So my thesis is simple.

Our culture has hijacked our biology, and it is making us sick.

But there is an answer, good stress.

In order to realign with our biology and thrive,

we must now self-impose the right dosage of deliberate stress.

Now, in the book, I outlined the protocols and benefits of 10 use

stress practices from fasting and cold therapy to how to have stressful conversations. There's

also a good amount of philosophy as I bridge the medical with the mystical. Now, if you like what

you hear today and are inclined to support my work,

I'd be so very appreciative.

The audio version of Good Stress

is available on Audible,

and you can listen to it for free

as part of your premium Spotify membership.

Now, if you prefer the old school analog option,

you can purchase a book at goodstress.com and get a bunch of additional goodies thrown in, including $900 of courses

with some of my biggest influences, including Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Zach Bush, and Dr. Gabor

Maté. In this specific excerpt, the introduction to good stress,

I set the stage for my argument.
