Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

About this book-as-podcast

Sapolsky explains how the body's stress response, built for short emergencies, causes lasting harm when it stays switched on. The book goes organ by organ through what chronic stress does to the heart, digestion, immune system, memory, and sleep. Personality, emotional habits, and social support all shape how much damage stress inflicts on each person.
