For example, <strong>countries where people report more stress also have a higher GDP, more happiness, and greater satisfaction with life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do we find meaning in the same places we find stress? Here&#8217;s how McGonigal explains the benefits of stress: <strong>If you pursue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/ambitious-goals\/\">ambitious goals<\/a> and take on significant responsibility, you\u2019re more likely to be stressed\u2014but you\u2019re also more likely to be happy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-find-meaning-in-your-life\/\">find meaning in your life<\/a>, and live longer<\/strong>. For example, you might say that your kids are your greatest source of daily stress. You want them to be safe, successful, and happy, but all of these things are uncertain and cause you to worry. However, your kids might also be your greatest source of happiness. Their silliness and love brighten your day, and caring for them gives you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/a-sense-of-purpose\/\">a sense of purpose<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>The idea that responsibility and stress lead to meaning is consistent with<a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/12-rules-for-life\/rule-7\"> Rule 7 in Jordan Peterson\u2019s <em>12 Rules for Life<\/em><\/a>, which says you should act in ways that reduce unnecessary suffering, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-yourself\/\">push yourself<\/a> beyond your comfort zone in order to live more meaningfully. Obviously, following these guidelines will often be stressful\u2014pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone is basically another way of saying \u201cdo things that are stressful.\u201d For example, reducing unnecessary suffering might mean putting yourself in harm\u2019s way to protect someone or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-have-uncomfortable-conversations\/\">having an uncomfortable conversation<\/a> with someone who could use forgiveness or support. Although this may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/be-uncomfortable\/\">be uncomfortable<\/a>, the author contends that this philosophy leads to more learning, more satisfaction with your life, and ultimately, to a more meaningful life.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>McGonigal adds a caveat to this argument, explaining that some studies show stress is also associated with depression and mortality. For example, a study measuring the effect of stress on men\u2019s mortality over 50 years found that men who reported the most daily hassles were far more likely to die. However, the measurement that tracked daily hassles was highly subjective: Participants were presented with a list of everyday responsibilities and were asked to rate whether they considered these things a hassle or uplifting. Those who rated daily activities as a hassle were more likely to die. McGonigal argues that because the list of everyday activities consisted of things that are inherent in daily life, this method of measurement <em>actually <\/em>demonstrated that the participants\u2019 <strong><em>mindsets<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u2014that is, their perceptions or beliefs about their daily activities\u2014determined whether daily hassles were deadly or not<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>McGonigal proposes that mindset\u2014rather than daily hassles\u2014made the difference in mortality in this study because participants rated the effect of inevitable, daily activities. However, the fact that the rated activities are common doesn\u2019t imply that they posed an equal level of stress to the participants. For example, McGonigal mentions one of the daily activities was \u201cthe nature of your work,\u201d which could mean very different things for different participants. A police officer and a barber likely won\u2019t have the same levels of stress each day. Although the full study isn\u2019t publicly available, a summary of the study\u2019s recruitment methods shows that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vacsp.research.va.gov\/CSPEC\/Studies\/INVESTD-R\/CSP-710-VA-Normative-Aging-Study.asp\"> police officers and firefighters are included among participants<\/a>. A report of the most stressful jobs<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessnewsdaily.com\/1875-stressful-careers.html\"> lists police officers at number four and firefighters at number two<\/a>. Thus, this daily hassle may have varied significantly in severity.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can stress be good for you?
