People Who Worry More Are Smarter—So Keep on Stressing
New York Magazine's Science of Us video explains how worrying (and anxiety) is actually making you smarter in the long run.
You’d never think that anxiety could be a good thing, right?
If you’re like me, you probably get cold sweats when interviewing, or can feel your heart beat out of your chest whenever speaking in front of a large group of people, or generally just have that pit in your stomach. And I would say that 10 times out of 10, that’s a horrible feeling.
Well, this New York Magazine video explains that worrying is actually linked to higher intelligence. So basically, all that anxiety is making you smarter. You read that right—smarter.
