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.

Почему пять минут ленты превращаются в сорок — и при чём здесь дофамин
Разобраться →Можно проверить завтра
Первые двадцать минут утра — без ленты.
Не ради дисциплины и не ради челленджа. Чтобы увидеть, что происходит с вниманием, если мозг сначала побудет в собственной жизни — и только потом впустит чужую.

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.
Books
The books readers usually start with
Memory · Attention
Brain on 100+
For people who want clear thinking for decades, not a miracle week.
Why does memory shift after 40? Which habits actually lower cognitive-decline risk? What does the science say instead of “brain pill” myths?
Energy
Anatomy of Energy
For people who “do everything right” and still feel emptied out.
Three systems that decide your energy: circadian rhythm, cognitive load, and cellular energetics.
Focus
Mental Debug
If you keep putting off what matters and then blame yourself.
Not another productivity book. A practical protocol for getting out from between notifications and thinking in depth again.

Where new books are born
Social media is not a wall of motivational quotes. It is a working lab: field notes, new studies in plain language, and ideas tested before they become chapters.
