THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Narrated by Andrew Huberman.

From Andrew Huberman, host of the world’s leading health podcast Huberman Lab, comes an essential guide to improving brain function, optimizing your physical health and performance, enhancing mood and energy, rewiring your nervous system, and more.

The power of your physiology can be harnessed in two complementary ways. First, through a set of foundational behaviors – core practices that substantially improve your day-to-day mental and physical state. Second, through targeted behaviors – specific tools you can use to overcome common challenges. In this book, Andrew Huberman brings both together in a set of essential “protocols.”

These protocols can help you unlock your brain and body’s full potential across seven areas:

• Sleep
• Exercise
• Stress Control
• Nutrition
• Light
• Focus, Motivation and Learning
• Personal Growth

For example, a simple sleep protocol includes viewing sunlight as soon as possible after waking. Another protocol uses a single breathing pattern to reduce stress in the moment. There are also protocols for getting stronger and leaner at any age, and for allowing you to learn faster.

In his clear and engaging style, Huberman explains the science behind each protocol, then shows how they can deliver immediate, effective results. What’s more, he describes how to customize them, allowing you to adapt them to your individual needs.

Drawing on decades of research – from his own work and that of the many experts he has interviewed over the years – Huberman delivers a comprehensive and indispensable guide to help you improve your mental health, physical health, and performance. This book will transform your life.
