Why, if we have been able to conquer polio, smallpox, and other deadly contagion, have we not been able to conquer this thing called stress? The answer lies in how we relate to the world Iron the inside out, not in how the outside world relates to us. When a doctor controls a bacterial infection with an antibiotic, he or she is attacking an invader that came from outside the body. But in the case of stress, the effects are largely self-inflicted.

It would be nice if we could simply eliminate stress in our lives with a pill, but that is not the case. Neither is it likely that you will reach a point where you have fixed all of your problems nor have no challenging situations to face. You may say that people or events in your life are stressful, but really stress is something you generate yourself within your own mind. Controlling the effects of stress will require understanding yourself better, not changing your outside environment.
