Several of my posts and interviews address this directly. You might be especially interested in the following: Start with my 3-part web interview with Julien Smith > <a href="http://inoveryourhead.net/how-to-lose-weight-quit-coffee-and-stop-wearing-glasses-part-1/" rel="nofollow">Part 1</a>: Hormetism, Stoicism, cold showers, the opponent-process theory of emotion > <a href="http://inoveryourhead.net/how-to-lose-weight-quit-coffee-and-stop-wearing-glasses-part-2/" rel="nofollow">Part 2</a>: Facing challenges, intermittent fasting, taking risks and facing fears, psychological training, hormesis & health > <a href="http://inoveryourhead.net/how-to-reprogram-your-brain-4-paths-to-more-willpower-in-2011/" rel="nofollow">Part 3</a>: How to systematically build willpower For more meat, see these articles from my blog: - <a href="http://gettingstronger.org/stoicism/" rel="nofollow">Stoicism</a> - <a href="http://gettingstronger.org/2011/09/voluntary-stress/" rel="nofollow">Voluntary stress</a> - <a href="http://gettingstronger.org/psychology/" rel="nofollow">Psychology</a> - <a href="http://gettingstronger.org/2010/01/toughness-training/" rel="nofollow">Stress management and toughness training</a> Enjoy!

It seems like everything you mention in this post is about using hormesis to become physically stronger or more able to tolerate stressors. Do you think hormesis principles can be applied to pyschological stressors, such as fear of failure? I ask because I write a blog for people taking the bar exam and lots of my posts deal with how to reduce stress and anxiety related to the test. Keep up the good work! I am blown away by this idea.
