Stress costs the American economy about $300 billion a year in medical bills and missed work, according to the World Health Organization. Headlines call stress an epidemic, and nearly every day we learn more about how it鈥檚 hurting us: It makes us eat too much, sleep too little, lash out, get sick, and falter at work and school. Curiously, however, new research suggests that all the attention to the risks of stress may actually be part of the problem鈥� Stress was introduced as a medical term during the Great Depression, fittingly enough, by the Hungarian endocrinologist Hans Selye.

He also cataloged the ills of chronic stress, including ulcers and a withered immune system. But Selye didn鈥檛 think all stress was bad. He contrasted negative distress with beneficial 颅eustress (literally 鈥済ood stress鈥�). Eustress led to learning, growth, fulfillment, and even the thrill of victory. Distress caused anxiety, withdrawal, hopelessness, and depression.
