Life is all about choices.  What happens when, instead of sitting back, examining the information around us and making the most optimum choice for the situation before us we default to emotional and gut responses, where hormones and ancient biological chemistry takes over, most often with results we were not intending?  In Tim Ferriss' podcast #319, "How to Succeed in High-Stress Situations," Tim explores the construct of high-stress through 4 sample chapters from Ryan Holiday's book, "The Obstacle is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph."  Exploration is the easy part, application is where it can get messy.
