5 brain hacks that can alleviate stress, according to a biopsychologist: Stress triggers our amygdala, which is our fear center. Here’s how to combat those feelings. In his first inaugural address, Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” While he was trying to convey that fear can hold you back from accomplishing great things, the state of fear arousal shouldn’t be feared. In fact, it can be your ally, says biopsychologist Mary Poffenroth, author of Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day. http://dlvr.it/TFr4Lf

Congress is ‘chaos,’ but these lawmakers keep coming back. Here’s why: These 6 lawmakers keep running for reelection despite the current tumult in Congress. Polarizing. Challenging. A lot of wasted time. That’s how six lawmakers described what it is like being in the U.S. House — a particularly tumultuous period in American history that has brought governing to a standstill, placed their lives in danger and raised fundamental questions about what it means to be a representative in a divided democracy. And yet, they keep at it, running for reelection. The Associated Press sat down separately with lawmakers, three Republicans and three Democrats, to hear what it’s like on Capitol Hill and what they — and Americans — can do to make it better. All hail from safe districts and are expected to easily win another term. Here’s who they are, why they first ran for office and why they keep coming back. http://dlvr.it/TFpqcl

Think your office is fun? This Swedish studio has a fully-functioning indoor roller coaster: The bright red coaster is 200 feet long, 10 feet tall, and weighs four tons. Some offices have free coffee. Others have complimentary lunches. If you want to get really crazy, a few even have an in-building gym. But there’s only one office in the world with a fully-functioning indoor roller coaster.  That office is in Stockholm, Sweden, and it’s home to the recently rebranded creative studio The Great Exhibition. For the past 15 years, the studio (formerly known as PJADAD) has worked on creating head-turning brand experiences—like a playground made out of textiles for IKEA and a city of geometric food cubes for Atelier Food. http://dlvr.it/TFnq9P
