While stress often has serious consequences, impacting both performance and mental and physical health, it is also a valuable channel for our hidden intelligence. Indeed, recent scientific research shows that it is nothing other than a warning signal sent to us by the prefrontal cortex, a paradoxically largely unconscious center of human intelligence. Therefore, learning to identify our stress and understanding the deeper meaning of its message is key.
While stress often has serious consequences, impacting both performance and mental and physical health, it is also a valuable channel for our hidden intelligence. Indeed, recent scientific research shows that it is nothing other than a warning signal sent by the prefrontal cortex, the paradoxically less conscious center of human intelligence. Therefore, by learning to identify our stress and understand the deeper meaning of its message, we can learn to manage it and develop our prefrontal mode (openness, flexibility, nuance, global perspective, relativity, creativity, rationality, altruism, etc.). With simple tools, exercises, and concrete examples, the authors provide us with universal keys to changing our mindset and regaining serenity and self-confidence.
