Stress: vulnerability and resilience. This link isn’t to a video, but to a book. I’d have to be a dunce not to recommend this book in relation to stress and health and the biological substrates that mediate this relationship. Written with flair and some (corny) wit, this authoritative source for everything you’d ever want to know about stress and how to deal with it. Please buy the book and help send my grandkids to college. http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118850289.html
