But in a society where everything is moving faster and faster, the brain has difficulty keeping up. When the phone buzzes in our pocket, the watch vibrates on our arm, and notifications constantly pop up on our laptop, we put our brains to work overtime. Especially if it never gets a break. Because when we don't take breaks, we become less able to learn new things, have more difficulty handling challenges and become less attentive to others.

The event is part of Folkeuniversitetet's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds. Find the full programhere.
