Disagreement Between Textbook and Stanford Article?
In the textbook, when it talks about stress in Monday's reading, it says that the large events in our lives (the ones that we can infer lead to chronic stress from clues in the reading) is not the kind of stress that is detrimental to human health. It further explains that, it is the many small reasons to be stressed out that cause health issues and should be worried about. It's on page 481, if you would like the check it out. Meanwhile, the article argues the complete opposite: The small items of stress shouldn't be worried about, while the larger more chronic issues should. I personally agree with the website because chronic stress is something that doesn't go away quickly or easily, whereas small amounts of stress about differing items only lasts a few hours or days. Any reasoning behind why you think the articles disagree? Your personal opinion between the two sources? Anyone who wants to correct me if I am wrong?

I agree with you, I think that life's small stressors can more easily be resolved and don't make people as upset as big and chronic stressors do. The larger issues are the ones that require a lot more attention and effort to fix, because they have a significant impact on the person rather than the small events which could simply be changed by your mindset, as we heard about today in the TED talk.
