Joseph Jebelli PhD
このコンテンツについて
From Joseph Jebelli, PhD, neuroscientist and author of In Pursuit of Memory, a groundbreaking exploration of the science of doing nothing and its benefits for the brain and body
We are constantly told to make the most of our time, to work harder, to stop procrastinating. But what if all that advice was wrong, and letting the brain rest, and the mind wander, could improve our lives? In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli shows listeners the way to happier, healthier, and more balanced lives in a deeply researched and entertaining guide to combat overwork and burnout.
Through a blend of science, personal stories, and practical, actionable tips, Dr. Jebelli proves that the brain's "default network" turns itself on when we turn off the constant need to always do and achieve. By activating our default network through long walks, baths, and spending time in nature, we can all be more content, less stressed, and actually more productive.
Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or hungry to achieve their goals in a healthy, sustainable way, The Brain at Rest is the definitive, science-backed guide to achieving contentment, creativity, and success by letting your brain decompress.

"The human brain is an extremely busy organ, consuming 20 percent of the body’s energy. Neuroscientist Jebelli wholeheartedly recommends deliberate periods of idleness or inactivity to give the brain some rest and improve overall health…Jebelli’s practical tips abound."—Booklist
“Addicted to work? Stop what you’re doing and read this book. By combining cutting edge science with compelling personal anecdotes, Jebelli weaves a fascinating tale of the virtues of the resting brain. He also reminds us that scrolling on our smartphones may feel like a break but is not in fact a break for our brains. Just one more reason to get off our phones, go outside, and let ourselves wander.”—Anna Lembke, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence.
“This book is magic. It won't just refresh your mind, but also make you more productive–in both the short and long run. If you want to accomplish more, without any relaxation guilt, this book is for you. Practice what's in this book, and your mind will feel brand new.”–Chris Bailey, bestselling author of Hyperfocus, The Productivity Project, and How to Calm Your Mind
