The Exhausted Brain

Revitalize Your Brain, Reclaim Your Mental Energy Everyone knows the feeling after a long day—it's difficult to concentrate, make challenging decisions, or empathize with others. We live in a chronically exhausted society, and the capacity of our brains is limited. For years, the span of our mental battery has been shrinking. Lack of exercise, poor nutrition, harmful substances in the environment, lack of or harmful social interaction, and constant digital bombardment are a part of life that are not in accordance with our nature, and the result is a declining performance of our brain. In The Exhausted Brain, ​Dr. Michael Nehls uncovers the source of our mental energy. He reveals where our "brain battery" is located, what function it serves within our brain, and what this means for our thinking. Dr. Nehls describes the disastrous consequences a shrinking mental battery can have for us, our society, and future generations—and how we can counteract it.
