Dr Stephen Sideroff: The UCLA biobehavioral psychologist on how to build unshakeable resilience and sideline stress forever

In an evermore polarised and conflicted world, it’s tempting to focus our efforts on minimising our exposure to stress. So we shy away, avoiding people, places and situations that stress us out.

Yet this strategy is at best only ever a short-term fix. Stress is everywhere and so impossible to avoid.

A far more beneficial and positive approach is to instead build up your reserves of resilience so you’re fully prepared to tackle and overcome whatever life throws at you. 

To empower you to do exactly that, Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner visited the LA home of Dr Stephen Sideroff, Associate Professor at the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA School of Medicine, and a world-renowned expert in resilience, stress management and peak performance.

In a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation, Dr Sideroff offers his career-defining advice on the optimal strategies for dealing with stress; the biggest obstacles people face when trying to build resilience, and how to overcome them; the importance of having a sense of meaning and purpose in life to become resilient; the role of optimism and positive thinking in building resilience, and how to cultivate a more positive outlook in the face of adversity; and much more life-changing advice and insight.
