Evidence
Claims get grades. “I feel like” isn’t a source.
Who is Pol Grek
Pol Grek writes popular science on the brain, stress, energy, and cognitive health. Applied neuropsychology: attention, sleep, stress, habits — what you can test in a normal week, not only in a lab.
Born in England. Education and practice in cognitive science and high-load human systems (tech, finance, teams). He writes at the edge of “how the brain works” and “how people actually burn out at work” — no mysticism, no superhuman promises.
Books and this site use evidence grades [A]–[D]. Free excerpts here; checkout on Amazon or LitRes — not a closed club.
Practice and books
Years of consulting on stress resilience and cognitive efficiency — deadlines, context-switching, “success outside, fog inside.” That practice became minimum-effective-dose protocols: fewer bullets, more measurable effect.
Public proof: author catalogs on LitRes and Amazon product pages linked from each title. This site highlights thirteen key books with blurbs and excerpts.
Russian language and Laura Grek
At 35 Pol started learning Russian — largely thanks to his wife, Laura Grek, a clinical psychologist trained at Moscow State University. He writes short on purpose: less metaphor, less cognitive load for the reader.
Laura co-authors select titles (female/male brain, emotional intelligence). Her voice is the clinic: anxiety, perimenopause, burnout — what people say in the chair. Together: lab + clinic, without cartoon “gender logic.”
Personal burnout
Before writing about burnout, he lived it: weekend rest didn’t restore clarity. Not a marketing slogan — the starting point of the books. Fix yourself first; then share. Educational only — not a substitute for clinical care.
Working principles
No hype
Explicit takedowns of supplement marketing and miracle stacks.
Minimum effective dose
Smallest set that still moves the needle.
Self first
If he hasn’t run it, it doesn’t become advice.
