Until my first doctorate (the one in medicine), it was still my father who paid for the expenses of my education but, after that, I lived exclusively on my own income…..books I have written are added to these emoluments but; since this depends on my laboratory research, I think I can say that I live exclusively from my research. 3. The discovery of the general adaptation syndrome (the concept of “stress”) which I described at the age of 29, is in my opinion, my only contribution to medicine worth mentioning…..I have written several books on this subject, the most important of which is the one entitled “Stress”……'.
