Did you know that more than 50% of doctor visits are from stress? 77% of Americans regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress. And 73% of people experience psychological symptoms caused by stress. So if I could help people make only one change, it would be to give them the ability to control stress. I'm Paul McKenna. I'm a behavioral scientist, author and therapist. As a therapist for more than 30 years, I've worked with all kinds of people with all kinds of problems. What I've noticed is that the single biggest cause of ill health is an inappropriate response to stress. I really like this famous Indian quote. If you want to know what your thoughts were like yesterday, check how your body feels today. Stress is sometimes an overused word, but a misunderstood one. It's supposed to be the body's natural response to threat, but actually an increasing cause of illness in modern life. So I've developed a unique stress control system to help you manage it more effectively. If you follow it over the coming days, you'll learn to change your response to stress, worry and anxiety. You'll have more energy, you'll become more efficient, more effective. Your levels of happiness will go through the roof. Oh, and you might even look younger. When you sign up for my masterclass with Mindvalley, you'll learn how to control stress, worry less and less, and feel much better. It's for anyone and everyone who wants to have a better quality of life, and they've got more bandwidth in their thinking to experience joy. Hope to see you in class.
