In my research career, I chose problems relevant to the non-evident matter of the origin of life, being a partisan supporter of the view that inorganic substrates played (forgive the choice of words) a vital role, and though I was not dogmatic in rejecting alternatives this attachment gave me much motivation and pleasure.

John, I guess to some extent it depends on how one defines and measures stress. But even if one cannot do things without any stress at all, one can certainly try to be *less* stressed about them.
