Hello All, 

My Favorite Bit of Information From The Week:

Mithu Storoni is one of my favorite scientists in the field of mental health. She specializes in stress research. Her theory is that much (but of course not all) of mental illness is caused by chronic stress. Her book changed my life and I love to recommend it- the audiobook is fabulous as well. Here is a link to her website and the various methods of purchasing her book if you are so inclined: https://www.mithustoroni.com/
Here is a link to her Ted Talk in Hong Kong, she covers a small (but extremely interesting) aspect of her book. She also mentions one of the reasons that meditation can be helpful for mental health and stress:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42R6LfgUOKg
