As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasnt been able to keep up. – Andrew Bernstein
The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health. – Andrew Bernstein
And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children, and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations, we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit. – Tim Ryan
