Unplug - and strengthen your brain

What to know

Troels W. Kjær, brain researcher, specialist, Ph D Is it really true that something as simple as a break can make us smarter, happier and more efficient? We live in a time where our attention is constantly being pulled in all directions. Phones buzz, watches vibrate, and notifications demand our attention. At the same time, we are expected to keep up - learn new things, be creative, and make good decisions. But what actually happens in the brain when it never gets a break? Brain researcher Troels W. Kjær takes you into the fascinating world of the brain. He shows why breaks are not a waste of time, but on the contrary, one of the most important prerequisites for learning, well-being and mental strength. Based on the latest research, we gain insight into how breaks - both the small ones in everyday life and the big break in the form of sleep - can be the key to managing the pace of modern life. Because perhaps the solution to our busyness is not to work faster - but to dare to stop. Troels W.
