How doing nothing can change your life:
· Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size
· Spending time in nature can boost creativity
· Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells
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...
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 ground-breaking new research, you will learn how to achieve a happier, healthier and more balanced life.
