Jonah lehrer's back hurt. It's the scourgeofthe modern deskjockey,andLehrer,awiRED contributing editor and the author of How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist, was not exempt. Presented with the symptoms, the first question Lehrer's doctor asked was, are you engaged? "I said no-I'm married-and asked him why he'd asked," Lehrer recalls. "He said the most common trigger in his experience for men my age complaining of back pain is the wedding process. The event is so stressful that it triggers somatic pain." The question got Lehrer interested in how stress causes physical discomfort. He started talking to researchers and eventually wrote "Under Pressure".
