Smart, witty, helpful
By Denver C.
This book has helped me understand the science of stress and some unpleasant results that I’ve been experiencing. I’m someone who always wants to know WHY certain things are happening, and finds that helpful when figuring out how to fix them. I really like the author’s tone: He’s a scientist, but one with a great sense of humor and also a lot of compassion. This book, while not exactly New Agey/touchy-feely, is also not cold and clinical as it explains the biology behind stress and how it affects body and mind. Once you reach the point where you say, “OK, now I understand how stress is affecting me … Now what do I DO about it?,” you’ll probably need resources other than this book. But if, like me, you like to start out with a good understanding of what the problem is, then this book is a great place to find that foundation.

A fascinating tour of how stress impacts the body
By Patrick D. Goonan
This new edition of why Zebra’s Don’t Get Ulcers is extensively revised and exceeds earlier additions in terms of explaining the effects of stress on the body. This is a very detailed exploration, but well worth the sometimes difficult reading. If you don’t have some sort of background in biology, you may find that you have to read it a bit more slowly.

Phenominal
By D. Teasley
From my background as a biologist, this book really covers the topic with strong support and detail. From my perspective as a reader, it’s a true page-turner that doesn’t just accomplish its point, but goes well beyond. Sapolsky brilliantly makes incredibly complex systems seem simple and mechanistic by breaking them into manageable pieces and using strong analogies, making a prior knowledge of neuroscience unecessary. Humorous, witty, and easy-to-understand, this book is a must for anyone remotely interested in the topic of stress!
