E-stress?

Recommended Posts

Quote

A tandem student recently used the term "E-stress."

What does the term mean to you?



That he is a pretentious dick with borderline hypochondria?

I could be totally wrong:

Eustress perhaps?

Stress which is perceived by the individual as desirable, as part of a challenge. Such as skydiving, if that's what they want to be doing, even if it scares them a little.

Haven't heard the term in years; coined in the 70s by a Hungarian scientist, Hans Selye, who worked in Montreal.

"Pretentious, moi?"
