Summary

This week we present a special episode from A Slight Change of Plans hosted by Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior and was our featured expert on How To Stick To Your New Year's Resolutions. Maya's podcast examines who we are and who we become in the face of a big change.

In this episode, Maya looks at a feeling most of us are familiar with: stress. We're all familiar with the ways stress can make us feel bad, but can we use it as a helpful resource? Maya's joined by Columbia professor and stress expert Modupe Akinola, who argues that a simple change in our mindset can turn short-term stress into a force for good. Modupe shares strategies for how to better tolerate and understand our stress, and gives us tools for coping when a small "mindset shift" isn't enough.
