LBS’ Ben Hardy talks stress with Dubai Eye

According to the Cigna 360° Global Well-Being Survey 2022, 98 per cent of surveyed audiences in the UAE have experienced at least one symptom of burnout versus 94 per cent globally, as reported in a recent article on Zawya.com. The same article reported that UAE employees have complained of stress and/or burnout due to longer working hours.

London Business School’s Clinical Professor of Organisational Behaviour Ben Hardy, who has studied stress and its effects on people, spoke to Helen Farmer of Dubai Eye’s Helen Farmer Show recently about the causes of stress and how to manage them.

Listen to Ben’s interview with Helen to find out why acute stress and chronic stress have different effects on the body, why bad things aren’t stressful, but uncertain things are, and why having a plan can help.
