I have a confession to make.

00:16

But first, I want you to make a little confession to me.

00:23

In the past year, I want you to just raise your hand

00:26

if you've experienced relatively little stress.

00:29

Anyone?

00:32

How about a moderate amount of stress?

00:35

Who has experienced a lot of stress?

00:38

Yeah. Me too.

00:40

But that is not my confession.

00:42

My confession is this:

00:44

I am a health psychologist,

00:46

and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier.

00:51

But I fear that something I've been teaching

00:54

for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good,

00:59

and it has to do with stress.

01:01

For years I've been telling people, stress makes you sick.

01:04

It increases the risk of everything from the common cold

01:07

to cardiovascular disease.

01:10

Basically, I've turned stress into the enemy.

01:14

But I have changed my mind about stress,

01:17

and today, I want to change yours.

01:21

Let me start with the study that made me rethink

01:23

my whole approach to stress.

01:26

This study tracked 30,000 adults in the United States for eight years,

01:30

and they started by asking people,

01:33

"How much stress have you experienced in the last year?"

01:37

They also asked,

01:38

"Do you believe that stress is harmful for your health?"

01:44

And then they used public death records to find out who died.

01:48

(Laughter)

01:49

Okay.

01:51

Some bad news first.

01:53

People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year

01:56

had a 43 percent increased risk of dying.

02:00

But that was only true for the people

02:04

who also believed that stress is harmful for your health.

02:08

(Laughter)

02:10

People who experienced a lot of stress

02:13

but did not view stress as harmful

02:15

were no more likely to die.

02:16

In fact, they had the lowest risk of dying

02:20

of anyone in the study,

02:21

including people who had relatively little stress.

02:24

Now the researchers estimated that over the eight years

02:27

they were tracking deaths,

02:29

182,000 Americans died prematurely,

02:32

not from stress,

02:33

but from the belief that stress is bad for you.

02:37

(Laughter)

02:38

That is over 20,000 deaths a year.

02:41

Now, if that estimate is correct,

02:44

that would make believing stress is bad for you

02:47

the 15th largest cause of death in the United States last year,

02:51

killing more people than skin cancer, HIV/AIDS and homicide.

02:57

(Laughter)

02:59

You can see why this study freaked me out.

03:02

Here I've been spending so much energy telling people
