Summary

As Adrienne reflects on 6 years of the Power Hour, we are going to share some of our favourite episodes from the archives.

Today we're sharing an episode from April 2024 - with the excellent Mo Gawdat and Alice Law.

From the show notes...

Join Adrienne as she talks to the brilliant minds Mo Gawdat and Alice Law about their new book Unstressable.

Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted―and once predicted, prevented.

Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
0:10.9	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,
0:17.2	change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what
0:22.7	motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage,
0:28.8	motivate and inspire. So I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal
0:33.7	and professional goals. Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast. Today I'm joined by two
0:42.4	guests, Mo Gaudat and Alice Law. And in today's episode, we're going to be talking about an
0:47.9	important topic that impacts all of us at times, and that topic is stress. I've worked in the well-being industry for the last 12 years
0:56.7	and as many of you listeners of this podcast will know, I have seen a lot of changes throughout that time.
1:02.6	So in some ways, we might assume that now, living in the modern world, many of us are gaining
1:08.3	more awareness of our health, both mental and physical.
1:12.2	We're wearing more devices.
1:13.9	We're measuring our personal data from our heart rate to our steps, tracking how long we sleep.
1:18.8	We are using so much information, looking at what we eat, what time we eat, all of these things.
1:24.5	And many people are listening to more podcasts, reading more books, reading
1:28.8	articles about health in order to make positive changes to their lives, to live healthier, to live
1:33.5	happier and to live more enriching lives. So in theory, we should all be living well and thriving
1:39.9	in the modern world. However, we know that that is not the case. I think a decade ago, the
1:46.0	modern, the well-being industry typically focused on four areas, so physical and fitness, exercise,
1:53.0	mental and emotional health, nutrition and diet, and sleep, rest and recovery. But now it seems like
1:59.0	there is one piece of the puzzle that has been
2:01.4	pretty much overlooked and not taken very seriously. And that piece is stress. And I'm not talking
