Chapters

Mo Gawdat defines stress using the acronym TONN: Trauma, Obsessions, Nuisances, and Noise. He explains that while trauma can be impactful, it's the accumulation of obsessions, nuisances, and noise that truly breaks people. He encourages listeners to take inventory of their stressors and actively limit those that are unnecessary.
  • Stress is categorized into Trauma, Obsessions, Nuisances, and Noise.
  • Trauma, though impactful, is often recovered from relatively quickly.
  • The accumulation of smaller stressors (obsessions, nuisances, noise) is more damaging than isolated trauma.

Shownotes Transcript

In this moment, entrepreneur and best selling author, Mohammad "Mo" Gawdat, discusses the root cause of stress in your life. Mo says that it is not major traumatic events that break people, instead it is the much smaller damage that build ups over time and results from the script that you tell yourself. He believes that many of the stressors of your life can easily be cut out if you spend time deliberately looking at and reflecting on your life. After this you can then choose to limit what you allow into it, and help break the toxic addiction to stress we all suffer from in the modern world.
