Protocols: A User´s Manual for the Human Body

Control your body. Control your mind. The revolutionary first book from the most influential science communicator of our time. When you control your body, you control your mind. From joy, to calm, to focus, we spend our lives trying to control our mental states. But we usually fail. The reason? We are focusing on our minds when we should be focusing on our bodies. Stanford neuroscience professor Andrew Huberman - creator of the phenomenal The Huberman Lab podcast - is the world's leading expert on the interaction of our nervous system and our mental state. His research has led him to a handful of simple tweaks to our bodies that transform how we think. He calls them the protocols. Here, Huberman uncovers how these protocols can unexpectedly revolutionise our mood, our focus and our health. His endlessly surprising insights include- - How learning to blink less can make you focus more - How seeing daylight immediately upon waking up can boost your energy levels - How 'Non-Sleep Deep Rest' can help sustain you for hours longer without sleep On every page, Protocols offers scientific advice unlike anything you have read before. By transforming what you do, it will transform how you think.
