About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Dr. Rachel Barr PhD is a neuroscientist specialising in the electrophysiology of sleep and memory. Outside of her research, she aims to bridge the gap between neuroscience and our everyday experiences, using social media to share these learnings with over one million followers.

Review :
Riveting and enlightening, this book should be handed out to all humans as mandatory reading. Whether you’re looking to understand why your brain behaves the way it does or seeking practical strategies to get your mind on your side, this is a must-read. Somehow both a delightful and poignant piece of science communication. Rachel Barr’s writing is Bill Bryson-esque in both its accessibility and playfulness – your brain is “a well-meaning but inadvertently toxic-positive aunt”, “a multi-layered birthday cake”, and “A LIAR” – but it’s also tender and tinged with the pain of loss . . . I really enjoyed it! Insightful and relatable psychoeducation that demystifies the brain . . . it’s a resource I’ll proudly keep on my shelf as a therapist. A true masterpiece. Rachel Barr has done a phenomenal job breaking down the complexities of the human mind into language that’s easy to understand.
