In today's society, the brain receives millions of stimuli every day. Flickering screens, deadlines at work and disturbing media reports scream for our attention and then don't let it go. This, according to Charlotte, is a situation that leads to an overstimulated brain in many people. Subsequently, this overstimulation manifests in the form of stress, burnout, depression, fatigue and so on. In the manual Overstimulated Brain Charlotte offers concrete tools for more peace and balance. She shows how, by working with nutrition, exercise, relaxation and connection, you can experience more peace and regain your energy within ten weeks.

Writer Kasper van der Meulen set out to find the most effective ways to give yourself a mental boost. After all, according to Kasper, the mind is a tool that can be developed through training, just like any muscle of the body. In addition to conducting interviews and a literature review, the author tested everything he could find and then turned it into exercises and modifications. Reportedly, the book allows you to take control of your physical and mental state, reduce stress, learn to live in the moment and develop rock-solid focus.

When your body says no | Gabor Maté 

A former family physician, Hungarian-Canadian Gabor Maté is particularly interested in childhood development and trauma and the potential lifelong effects they have on physical and mental health. In his groundbreaking bestsellers, the doctor speaks about his experiences. In the book "When Your Body Says No," Gabor holds up a confrontational mirror, through which he wants readers to realize that hidden stress can have disastrous consequences for our health. According to him, if we do not dare to say no to our stress-ridden way of life, our bodies will eventually do it for us and develop cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer and MS, among others. Based on scientific research and using examples from his own general practice, Gabor answers questions about the role the mental and physical connection plays in the development of physical and mental illness.
