Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers is a science and psychology book by Robert Sapolsky that examines how stress works in the body and why modern human stress often becomes harmful. Drawing on endocrinology, neuroscience, primatology, and medicine, Sapolsky explains the biological systems that activate during threat, especially the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA axis, and shows how those systems help in short bursts but become damaging when repeatedly triggered. The book is not a self-help manual in the narrow sense; it is a wide-ranging explanation of stress-related disease, from cardiovascular problems to immune dysfunction, depression, and digestive issues. Its purpose is to help readers understand why humans are vulnerable to chronic stress in ways most animals are not, and how social conditions, perception, and environment shape physical health.
