    How big a problem is toxic stress in our own culture and around the world? Any way we measure it, toxic stress is a problem for about one in five of us. Most of us don’t know if we’re at risk for stress-related illnesses. And measurement is not easy, as Ted Daley’s experience shows us, pointing to one reason we overlook toxic stress. Teresa Langford’s story weaves throughout this book to show how toxic stress has erupted at key points in her life, suggesting lessons for the rest of us.
