JANOS HUGO BRUNO HANS SELYE (1907 1982), was a pioneering Canadian endocrinologist of Hungarian origin. He conducted much important scientific work on the hypothetical non-specific response of an organism to stressors. Selye has acknowledged the influence of Claude Bernard (who developed the idea of milieu intrieur) and Walter Cannon's homeostasis. Selye conceptualized the physiology of stress as having two components: a set of responses which he called the general adaptation syndrome, and the development of a pathological state from ongoing, unrelieved stress. Selye wrote The Stress of Life (1956), From Dream to Discovery: On Being a Scientist (1964, offered here), and Stress without Distress (1974). He worked as a professor and director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the Universit de Montral. In 1975 he created the International Institute of Stress, and in 1979, Dr. Selye and Arthur Antille started the Hans Selye Foundation. Later Selye and eight Nobel laureates founded the Canadian Institute of Stress.
