Can anxiety be good for you? TIME magazine editor on how to harness that knot in your stomach for good

Americans are a stressed out bunch. As TIME magazine writer Alice Park aptly put it: "If America were a person it would have a tension headache."

Alina Cho speaks with Jeffrey Klueger, senior editor for TIME Magazine, to discuss why Americans are more stressed than ever – and how we can use that anxiety to our advantage.
