Let’s face it, Real estate education has lost the script. Everybody “claims” to have the secret sauce. They get you to sign up, get you to bite on a “magic” formula, but there’s no real tools to get there. There’s so much talk, no practical steps. It’s not instructional, it’s hype. The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’ve been searching for a way to escape the rat race and achieve true financial freedom wholesaling real ...

The hardiness effect: How stress makes us stronger

Dr. Paul Taylor is a former Royal Navy air crew officer turned neuroscientist, psychologist, and exercise physiologist, to break down the concept of ‘Death by Comfort’, Dr. Taylor’s new book, The Hardiness Effect, explores how embracing a little stress and discomfort can make us stronger, sharper, and healthier.
Dr Taylor dives into the science behind resilience, the dangers of modern convenience, and practical strategies for building mental and physical toughness—like cold showers, purposeful challenges, and reframing stress as an opportunity for growth.
Whether you’re a small business owner wrestling with burnout or simply feeling stuck in a rut, this conversation offers actionable advice and fresh perspective for building a life with more energy, meaning, and resilience.
Key topics
1. The Hardiness Effect: Foundations and Background
- Dr Paul Taylor’s diverse expertise (military, neuroscience, psychology, exercise physiology).
- Modern comfort is disconnecting us from ancestral stressors needed for resilience.
- Hardiness combines mind and body for optimal health.
- Dr Taylor’s motivation for writing and research comes from both lived experience and scientific evidence.
2. Stress, Adaptation, and Practical Resilience
- Exposure to intermittent stress (exercise, cold, psychological challenge) strengthens body and mind.
- Simple habits like cold showers and breath control can build resilience.
- Psychological orientation: viewing stressors as challenges boosts recovery and growth.
- Deliberate discomfort and self-reflection reinforce confidence and adaptability.
3. The Role of Lifestyle and Technology
- Sedentary lifestyles and processed diets are misaligned with our genetic needs.
- Tech habits and excessive screen time drain attention, mood, and engagement in life.
- Healthy routines—exercise, nutrition, sleep, hobbies (Ikigai)—empower resilience.
- Balance is crucial: active participation trumps passive consumption for well-being.
4. Burnout, Mental Health, and Applying Hardiness
- Entrepreneurs are especially susceptible to burnout due to chronic stress.
- Recovery means engaging in energising, restorative activities—not just relaxation.
- Major signs of bad stress include low energy, motivation, and social withdrawal.
- Building hardiness: set boundaries, cultivate gratitude, and embrace life’s challenges.
