Why do some people thrive under pressure while others feel overwhelmed? In this, course, we'll explore the biology and psychology of stress to understand how the brain and body respond to challenges, why stress can both help and harm us, and what science says about managing it. Students will learn about the nervous system and hormones that drive the "fight-or-flight" response, examine the impact of stress on health and performance, and practice proven stress management strategies in their own lives.
