Quotes

Despandrihas quoted2 years ago
When it’s two-thirty on those mornings, I always have a brain tumor. These are very useful for that sort of terror, because you can attribute every conceivable nonspecific symptom to a brain tumor and justify your panic. Perhaps you do, too; or maybe you lie there thinking that you have cancer, or an ulcer, or that you’ve just had a stroke.

hedonism is “the pursuit of pleasure,” anhedonia is “the inability to feel pleasure”

The first step in the road to stress-related disease is developing hypertension, chronically elevated blood pressure.* This one seems obvious: if stress causes your blood pressure to go up, then chronic stress causes your blood pressure to go up chronically. Task accomplished, you’ve got hypertension

💡Learnt A Lot
🎯Worthwhile
👍Worth reading

An incredibly interesting read! Sometimes so difficult that I reread certain passages but it’s definitely worth the time and effort. It explains so much so concisely with a grain of humour that most things are vibrantly remembered a hundred pages after. RECOMMENDED
