Dr Joseph Jebelli: The Brain at Rest

We are constantly told to make the most of our time: to stop procrastinating, to optimize and be efficient with every precious hour. But when we let our brains rest, and our minds wander, something magical happens: the brain’s ‘default network’ switches on, and we are able to think in completely new ways.

Blending science and personal stories with practical tips, Dr Joseph Jebelli reveals how neuroscience is solving the mystery of the brain at rest, with profound implications for intelligence, creativity and even life expectancy.

Drawing on groundbreaking new research, Joseph explains how napping can enhance brain size, spending time in nature can boost creativity and problem-solving skills, and how silence fosters the growth of new brain cells. Authoritative and inspiring, The Brain at Rest offers practical advice for achieving a happier, healthier and more balanced life.

This event will take place in Wheeldon Suites 2 & 3
