How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Neuroscientist and mental health advocate Dr. Rachel Barr invites you to know your brain better - and live a calmer more fulfilled life as a result

In today's world, the pursuit of perfection is marketed as the path to happiness. We're led to believe that if we work harder and buy the right products, then we can optimise ourselves into a state of perpetual bliss. But what if this relentless effort is actually working against our natural wiring?

In a world that constantly shouts for more, neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Barr PhD is here to start a quiet revolution, one that whispers- what if you're already enough?

Instead of demanding yet more productivity, Rachel offers a refreshing alternative- to work with, not against, the brain's natural rhythms - from its hunger for meaning to the impact of art and creativity on our mental well-being.

Scientifically backed and joyfully accessible, Rachel invites you to stop trying to 'be your best self' and instead learn to become better friends with your brain.
