In a 2015working paper from Harvard and Stanford Business Schools, “researchers…considered how the mental and physical effects of [work] stress related to mortality. The paper found that health problems stemming from job stress, like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and decreased mental health, can lead to fatal conditions that wind up killing about 120,000 people each year—making work-related stressors and the maladies they cause, more deadly than diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or influenza.” https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/02/the-alarming-long-term-consequences-of-workplace-stress/385397/

John D.

Everybody, literally everybody, overestimates their own emotional intelligence. That’s why we require that schools spend the first full year learning together as adults. Attribution Dr. Marc Brackett
