…didn't know that. Yeah, I know a lot of people don't. It was coined by another fellow Hungarian of mine called Janos Johan Selye, S-E-L-Y-E, who was a physician and researcher. who came to Canada in the early 20th century, just after the First World War,…
…and that's what they signed up for. But my true friends will celebrate me for finally being myself. The Canadian stress researcher Hans Selye, himself from Hungary like myself, and he coined the word stress, the way we use it today. He said that, In the…
…And he said that in the 1890s. And then a few decades later from Austria-Hungary comes the man known to us as Hans Selye, S-E-L-Y-E, or give him his Hungarian name, Hungarian like me, Janos Selye. And he's the one that did the research at the University…

…the doctors would present one case after another and then they would talk about this disease and that disease and so forth and Selye realized that actually the thing is that they all just looked sick yeah not just that they had a disease, but they did…
…in what I call a toxic culture. The work on stress was done originally in Canada by a fellow Hungarian. His name was Selye, S-E-L-Y-E, Janos Selye. And he worked at the University of Montreal. And he's the one that showed in a laboratory that if you…

…how to respond to. And it's too much. And so the person who actually coined the word stress was a fellow Hungarian-Canadian, Hans Selye. He's the one who coined the word in his present usage. He really meant pressure on an organism that's too much for…
