Stress, it would seem, is considered to be a sign of dedication. By common culture’s rules, the more stressed you are, the more committed you are, and, in Jonny’s case, the more professional you seem. But if you delve into this assumption, does stress really support our personal growth? In this episode, Jonny explores the difference between acute stress -  which can be helpful in performance - and chronic stress - which can trigger chronic diseases and all kinds of immense limitations upon our experience. Jonny also introduces some of the key themes brought about in the upcoming interview with eye surgeon, neuroscience and researcher-turned-author Dr Mithu Storoni.The full interview with Dr Mithu Storoni will, as always, follow suit on Thursday so keep an eye out for it. But for now, if you have had similar experiences on the field, in your work or life in general, then Jonny would love to hear from you via the comments in the reviews section. To find out more about Dr Mithu ahead of Thursday's recording you can follow her on:Instagram: @mithustoroni Twitter: @MithuStoroni Her website: https://www.mithustoroni.com/ Or you can pick up a copy her book, Stress Proof, at Waterstones, Amazon or wherever you best like to get your books! If you’re a fan of Jonny’s you can also follow him on socials: Twitter: @JonnyWilkinson Instagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficial
