When I say ‘us’, I’m referring to the ‘us’ in the free world who live relatively scot-free of invasion, hunger, plague and the raining-down of frogs; the lucky ‘us’ who’ve won the jackpot by being born in the right place at the right time. And yet we, the winners, complain of stress. Why can’t we enjoy the fact we can live to 109 and still keep our own teeth? We should be popping the champagne cork for the simple fact we’re breathing. I, too, am guilty of creating stress where there doesn’t need to be any. While I’m writing this book, I’m incredibly stressed: paranoid that I’m spelting everything’’s rite. I should be stressed when a bomb is about to drop on my head, not because I don’t know where, commas, go ir indeed ani punktuation? It’s the thinking about stress that stresses us out, not the incidents themselves
