Stress is a byproduct of subconscious beliefs you have about the world. You can't choose not to believe something. You believe it because you think it's true. To eliminate stress, you must learn to challenge these beliefs so that you see them differently.

The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.
