Authoritative and inspiring, The Brain at Rest offers practical advice for achieving a happier, healthier, and more balanced life.'Addicted to work? Stop what you’re doing and read this book' ANNA LEMBKE'The most important part of your brain you've never heard of' ALEX SOOJUNG-KIM PANG'If you want to accomplish more, without any relaxation guilt, this book is for you' CHRIS BAILEY

Joseph Jebelli makes a powerful argument for the importance of the brain’s downtime in living a happy, healthy and meaningful life.

I learned so much from it. -- Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay AttentionAddicted 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, author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of IndulgenceJoseph Jebelli’s The Brain at Rest introduces you to the most important part of your brain you've never heard of: the default network, a unique – and uniquely powerful – set of links between regions of the brain that switch on when we think about the past, imagine the future, and are faced with creative challenges. Unfortunately, modern life seems determined to push the default network to one side, but The Brain at Rest explains why things as simple as walks in the woods, a good night’s sleep, and simply people-watching at a cafe, can improve our happiness, keep our brains and bodies healthy, and help have more productive days. -- Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, PhD, author of Work Less, Do More and RestA wonderfully written and much needed exploration of the art and science of doing nothing. The Brain at Rest is an accessible and enjoyable journey into the neuroscience of mind wandering, tree-hugging, and play. -- Monty Lyman, author of The Immune MindThis 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.
