I missed my daughter's first steps because I was checking email. She was eight feet away from me, wobbling across the living room, and I was staring at my phone, responding to a work message that could have waited until Monday.

How Stress Nearly Destroyed My Health
The doctor's words were clinical, but they hit like a freight train: "Your body is showing signs of chronic stress damage. If you don't make changes immediately, we're looking at serious long-term consequences."

The Science of Living Longer
