Peter Hinssen, entrepreneur, keynote speaker and author of The Day After Tomorrow. How to Survive in Times of Radical Innovations. Every crisis is also an opportunity. We know what we need to do to make our lives and work more brain-friendly, but somehow, we are still not putting that knowledge into practice. Covid-19 has forced us into one of the biggest experiments in resilience of all time. What if we see this crisis as an opportunity for a genuine transformation? A chance to adopt new habits that will make us stronger than ever and help us face a volatile future? In her ground-breaking new book, Elke Geraerts shows us how we can all be ready for the many challenges awaiting us in a post-covid-19 world. Her approach takes the brain as the starting point and inspires you to make brain-aware choices in work and in life. She shows how hybrid work can both increase your productivity and reduce stress, how you can chase your dreams even in times of crisis and why - in an increasingly digital world - focus is the new IQ. The old normal will never return... but perhaps that is not such a bad thing!

"At lectures I often say: imagine if you could train your brain just like you train your muscles. And then I see people nodding: Yes, wouldn't that be nice! Well, you can: you can strengthen your brain and in doing so protect yourself from stress and burnout." - Elke Geraerts. The burnout epidemic is taking on unseen proportions. Our hectic lives and the extent of digitisation form great challenges for the brain, which is showing serious signs of neglect. But there is a solution: the greater your mental resilience, the better you are protected against stress, burnout and other mental problems. In this revelatory book, brain expert Elke Geraerts sets out the most important components of mental resilience on the basis of new insights from recent scientific research. She shows how we can better our minds, and how this helps us increase our own mental capital and that of our employees. The result is an absolute must-read for everyone who wants to prepare his or her brain for the challenges of the 21st century.
