We are constantly told to make the most of every precious moment – but when we let our brains rest and our minds wander, something magical happens…

A tonic for the frazzled mind‘ David Robson, author of The Expectation Effect

In The Brain at Rest, Dr Joseph Jebelli shares the transformative neuroscience that shows why doing nothing will change your life for the better. Drawing on groundbreaking new research, you will learn how:

· Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size
· Spending time in nature can boost creativity
· Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells

If you want to achieve a happier, healthier and more balanced life, this is the book you need.
