The Microstress Effect

23 Aug 2025

Description

From "The Microstress Effect," explores how small, everyday interactions and burdens accumulate to significantly impact well-being and performance, leading to burnout. Authors Rob Cross and Karen Dillon introduce the concept of "microstress," differentiating it from conventional stress by highlighting its subtle yet pervasive nature and the brain's unique, often insufficient, response to it. The book offers practical strategies to identify and combat microstress, emphasizing the critical role of diverse and authentic relationships in building resilience, improving physical health, and finding purpose. Ultimately, it advocates for making small, intentional changes in daily life and leveraging one's network to create a more balanced and fulfilling existence.
