'If you want to accomplish more, without any relaxation guilt, this book is for you' Chris Bailey, bestselling author of Hyperfocus and The Productivity Project

We are constantly told to make the most of our time: to stop procrastinating, to 'optimise' and be efficient with every precious hour.

But when we let our brains rest, and our minds wander, something magical happens: the brain’s ‘default network’ switches on, and we are able to think in completely new ways.

Drawing on groundbreaking new research, neuroscientist Dr Joseph Jebelli reveals the simple and easy steps to change your life for the better, including how:
· Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size · Spending time in nature can boost creativity and problem-solving skills
· Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells

Blending science and personal stories with practical tips, The Brain At Rest is the life-changing guide to living a happier, healthier - and ironically, more productive - life.
