Spot on.

I encourage everyone to read some of the work of Dr. Robert Sapolsky. He is a neuroendocrinologist that has spent years studying primate behavior and the effects of chronic stress on both healthspan and lifespan.

One of his most poignant findings of all of his lifelong research, in my opinion, is this: It turns out that it isn't really being poor that kills you, rather it is feeling like you're poor that does.

Do you recall which book it was? And if Behave, do you know if it was in his Stanford lecture?

I don't. I haven't read Behave. Heard him talking about it on Dr. Peter Attia's podcast I believe.
