It is a crash with a holiday label on it. Cortisol suppresses immune function while you are pushing. The moment you stop, the immune system activates everything it put on hold while you were running.

They strengthen systems that already exist rather than asking industries to reorganize themselves around something entirely new. Resilience depends on how fast you can adapt, not only on what you built. Organizations that build adaptability are often the ones whose innovations remain valuable long after launch.
