Description
Revitalize Your Brain, Reclaim Your Mental Energy
Everyone knows the feeling after a long day—it is difficult to concentrate, make good decisions, or even empathise with others. This daily but completely natural decline in our mental capacity is called "ego depletion," a state of mind that miraculously but naturally disappears after a good night's sleep.
However, more and more people are waking up in a perpetual state of ego depletion: their mental energy source is not recharging—it is actually shrinking. We live in a chronically exhausted society with disastrous consequences for ourselves, society, and future generations.
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 how we can stop and reverse the decline in its capacity—with profound consequences for our mental wellbeing and social capacity. In short, this book will change the world.

About the Author
Michael Nehls, MD, PhD, is a physician and molecular geneticist specializing in immunology. As a basic researcher, he deciphered the genetic causes of dozens of hereditary diseases at German and international research institutions. His discoveries have been published in collaboration with Nobel Prize winners, and his discovery of a key gene in immunity development was honored by the renowned American Association of Immunologists as a "Pillar of Immunology." For his pioneering findings on Alzheimer's disease development, prevention, and therapy, he was awarded the Hanse Prize for Molecular Psychiatry by the Rostock University Hospital. Dr. Nehls was vice president of genome research at a US company for three years and chief scientific officer and CEO of a Munich-based biotechnology company for eight years. He has written several bestsellers that have been translated into many languages. As a private lecturer, he delivers lectures at congresses and universities, attracting wide audiences.
