Brief Synopsis
It has been said that if you don’t know what stress is then you’re not alive. Stress is everywhere. Not all stress is bad. Having no stress means having no purpose in life - which is stressful in itself. However, there are indicators that chronic stress is worse than ever. Global trends show an increase in the number of people reporting negative emotions. Our bodies are well adapted to short-term intense stress - the kind of stress that was in our environment for more than 200,000 years, but rapid technological change and other factors have changed our world beyond recognition. Our brains can evolve, but not as fast as our world is changing. This creates a mismatch with our environment. To combat this we need a good understanding of how our brains can get hijacked, what tools we can use to become better aligned and how to move forward towards our full potential.
This revolutionary six-part documentary series features some of the world’s leading stress experts. Their collective experience stretches from the first use of the word “stress” and the first experiments done on the mind/body connection to the latest research into unravelling the unconscious mind. As entertaining as it is informative, Mismatched teaches us about stress and how to master it.
