Editor's Notes
There are now close to 600 studies on hardiness done around the world.
Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other. They are neuronal signaling molecules, influence the activity of the brain in specific ways and are thus involved in particular brain functions, like analgesia, reward, food intake, learning and memory.
The more disorder you have in your life, the more stressed you are, and the more difficult it is to cope with new demands
We reject change because there are too many things on our plate – change is easier when we have fewer things to look after
