Rob Cross’s latest book was supposed to be about how relationships have a positive effect on people’s well-being. But during one interview, he ended up discovering something else. When Rob asked his subject what had stopped her from doing what she wanted in life, she’d answered “just life, I guess”. And Rob realized it wasn't the big stressors, like a health scare or a nasty boss that derails people, rather “it’s an accumulation of small that it creeps up, week to week, month to month.” On this episode, Rob explains the micro stress effect, those tiny stresses that hit you dozens of times a day and can take a huge toll, affecting everything from your health to your life path. And Rob also shares what his research revealed about the 10% of highly successful people who are unaffected by micro stressors.
