These look super cool, but it says episode is unavailable - where do you listen to these?

The “Some stress is good actually!” argument has been thoroughly debunked.
And it should’ve never been taken seriously in the first place, because it was based on rats learning how to run through a maze.
There’s an episode of You Are Not So Smart where they talk about how this myth.
If I recall correctly, the expert he’s interviewing is like: “It’s ridiculous. Have you ever seen someone at the top of their field doing their job? They’re not stressed at all. They’re in the flow state — relaxed but engaged.”

Huh, yeah 187’s embed looks broken. I listen on Apple Podcasts, cuz I’m basic like that. Spotify has them too. And iHeart apparently? lol

Sweet! If you or other readers are into this sort of thing, I think it has the same vibe as “If Books Could Kill”, some very solid debunking going on there too

Yeah I do software development and yesterday I was WFH got some music going churning out code getting lots of stuff done and then my boss starts sending me emails trying to put pressure to stress me the fuck out and barely anything else got done the rest of the day. Today I took a sick day for a mental health day. Will he get the point? Probably not.
It just really comes down to petty people with power. They want to make things shit for the people working for them just to express their power over them.
