Amazing Stress Relief Technique (For Those Not Wearing Mascara)
On my radio show last night, my guest was former Wall Street trader and current Cambridge neuroscience research fellow John Coates, talking about how science-based risk-taking empowers success.

He put out extremely helpful information for how to not only manage stress but train yourself to be better at dealing with it -- toughening yourself psychologically the way you can toughen yourself physically.

This is a passage from his terrific book, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: How Risk-Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind. (This is some of the clearest science writing you'll find -- the book is a joy to read.)

Another piece of terrific and terrifically clear science writing I'm reading now is the book Epigenetics: How Environment Shapes Our Genes, by Richard C. Francis. (P.S. It's easy to read even if you're so far out of high school you forget what an allele is!)

I watch the "CSI" shows so I'm constantly reminded of alleles.

I loved CSI when it was science-y, when William Peterson was on the Vegas show and all into entymology. It wasn't ever as clever as House, by any stretch, but the writing got wildly dumb.
