Your brain isn’t lazy. It’s trying to protect you.
Books for people tired of living on autopilot.
Plain language on stress, memory, sleep, attention and energy — no woo, no biohacking hype, no “just pull yourself together.”
You opened the feed “for a couple of minutes.” Then another channel. Then the news. Then messages. Suddenly forty minutes are gone, and a strange heaviness is already there — though the day hasn’t started.
Sound familiar?
Most people blame discipline. Neuroscience says something else: the brain is not sabotaging you. It is adapting to overload.
13+ books on how the brain works, cognitive health, and stress.

Первые двадцать минут утра — без ленты.

About the author
Who is Pol Grek?
Author of popular-science books on the brain, stress, sleep, energy, cognitive longevity, and behavior.
I write for people who want more than another internet tip — who want to understand what is happening to them.
I take apart what is happening to you, and I separate science from neat explanations.
Every book starts with respect for the reader. Behavior almost always has a biological cause before it has a moral one.
