Is Stress Reduction worth prioritizing?

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and related mind-body practices are supported by multiple meta-analyses, including one on physiological stress markers and another examining the psychological mechanisms behind MBSR's benefits, plus a randomized controlled trial showing improved sleep and emotion regulation in depressed elderly adults. Weighing that against the numbers, Stress Reduction is worth watching rather than prioritizing yet — the potential upside is rated high (55/100), but the evidence supporting it is only moderate (68/100).
