This Should Be Required Viewing For Anyone In Labour Relations And Anyone Who Works In A Bureaucratic Oraganization,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Geographic: Stress - Portrait of a Killer (DVD)
I saw this documentary recently on the National Geographic Channel and immediately ordered myself a copy on Amazon.This is a fascinating documentary. It starts with a Stanford researcher's insights into stress hormones in baboons. His research shows that baboons can get their daily nutritional requirements in about three hours so they have the rest of the day to amuse themselves. As it turns out, the alpha baboons amuse themselves by terrorizing all the baboons beneath them in the hierarchy. The lower baboons do the same to those beneath them and so on. When the stress hormones of these baboons are measured, it turns out that the alphas have virtually no stress hormones in their blood while those lowest on the pecking order are totally stressed out. But the really interesting finding comes from relating this baboon research to human bureaucracies. The baboon research is compared to a study of the British civil service which shows extraordinary parallels to the baboon research. As it turns out, the upper levels of the civil service have far less signs of stress than the lower levels of the civil service, since the lower levels have far less control over their fate and are constantly getting dumped on by those above them. After establishing this fascinating comparison, the documentary goes on to describe some of the physiological effects of stress, which include such nasty things as unravelling chromosomes. This is a fascinating documentary. It should be required viewing for anyone in labour relations, human resources, unions and by anyone who works in a bureaucratic organization. This is extremely interesting material which could have a major impact on your health. Highly recommended.

Movie was very well done. It covers the biology of stress. Was a little disappointed that it didn't go into how to control stress.

Stress #1 health risk,
This review is from: National Geographic: Stress - Portrait of a Killer (DVD)
The video from National Geographic is so informative, it should be shown to the public by television, health professionals, schools of medicine, Doctor's offices. People must be made aware that too much stress can kill a person, I learned a lot about the effects of stress on the body, I am very glad that I purchased this video and will pass it on to my friends as well as my Doctor.
