Publisher Description
PRE-ORDER NOW: Simple, essential tools to transform your brain function, mood, focus and bodily health – the must-read first book from Stanford neuroscientist and creator of Huberman Lab, Dr Andrew Huberman.
In Protocols, Dr Andrew Huberman introduces simple, science-based practices that can substantially improve your day-to-day mental and physical state. They work the first time, and every time.
Huberman's protocols can help you unlock your brain and body’s full potential across seven areas: sleep; exercise; stress control; nutrition; light; focus, motivation and neuroplasticity; and personal growth. For example, a simple sleep protocol includes viewing sunlight as soon as possible after waking; a stress protocol involves doing a single breath pattern, once.
In his clear and engaging style, Dr Huberman explains the science behind each protocol, then shows how they can deliver immediate, effective results. What’s more, he described how to customise them, allowing you to adapt them to your individual needs.
Drawing on decades of research – from Dr Huberman’s own work and those of the many experts he has interviewed over the years – he delivers a comprehensive and indispensable guide to help you improve your mental health, physical health, and performance.
This book will transform your life.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Huberman Lab is one of the world’s biggest health podcasts, with neuroscientist Dr Andrew Huberman breaking down complex science into practical advice millions of listeners can use to enhance their lives. Now, he’s distilled all that knowledge into an easy-to-digest guide to improve our mental and physical health which looks set to become the new Atomic Habits. His protocols—the word he uses to mean science-informed daily habits and tools—are clear and specific, such as using 90-minute deep work blocks with no distractions (put away your phone!) to maximise productivity, followed by a break, since this is how the brain focuses best, or getting sunlight into your eyes within 30–60 minutes of waking to set your circadian rhythm and boost energy. Together, these protocols promise to rewire your nervous system. It’s an engaging, fascinating book in which everyone can find something helpful.
