That feeling of a racing heart and sweaty palms before a big meeting. What if it wasn't a warning sign, but your body handing you rocket fuel? For decades, we've been told to avoid stress at all costs, but it turns out that's the single biggest myth sabotaging our success.

In this video, Dr. Roger Hall dismantles our entire understanding of stress. We dive into the century-old science of the "Stress Performance Curve," which proves that stress is a dose-dependent tool. Too little, and you're bored and unmotivated. Too much, and you choke. But find the sweet spot? You unlock peak performance.

Discover the psychology behind why elite athletes and special forces operators learn to increase stress to win, how a simple mindset shift can turn terror into excitement, and why "over-rehearsal" is the key to becoming unshakable in any crisis.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
The biggest myth about stress that is secretly holding you back from your potential.
The science behind the "Stress Performance Curve" and how to find your absolute peak state.
How to re-label anxiety as "fuel" to crush your goals (just like top athletes and performers).

We live in a world where reality shows aren’t real, influencers feel like friends, and screens replace connection. But what’s the hidden cost?

In this episode of Second Thoughts with Dr. Roger Hall, we dive into parasocial relationships. The one-sided bonds we form with people online and explore why they can leave us lonelier, more distracted, and less connected to the people who truly matter.

Discover the psychology behind why your brain craves constant stimulation, why “boring” real-life relationships bring peace, and how leaders and business owners can protect themselves and their teams from the quiet epidemic of loneliness.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
Why your brain feels connected to influencers and reality TV stars you’ve never met.
How constant digital stimulation reshapes your brain and fuels loneliness.
Why “boring” real-life relationships bring peace and lasting connection.
