In this episode of The Book Nerds Podcast, Aaron, Brianna, and Kyle dive into The Stress Paradox by Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist — exploring why stress isn’t the enemy we think it is. From redefining “good stress” to balancing life’s pressures with purpose, they connect insights on biology, mindset, and leadership with their own lives and practices. The conversation touches on fasting, cold plunges, resilience, and how embracing discomfort drives growth.
