Paperback Engels 2024 1e druk 9789043933032Samenvatting
Overstimulated and stressed, that’s how we often feel in today’s society. And to no surprise: the speed at which the world has changed over the past 30 years is much higher than your brain can keep up with. From early in the morning to late at night, your brain has to deal with a large number of stimuli: through your work, your phone, and social media.
In this book, Brain Balance Expert Charlotte Labee provides you with practical tools to balance your mind, and your life. Charlotte offers valuable insights on how your brain works, helps you recognise symptoms of overstimulation, and shows how – by working on your nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and connection for 10 weeks – you can experience more peace of mind.
Contains:
- insightful information about your brain and what it needs;
- explanation of the 7 Brain Balance pillars, including nutrition, exercise, relaxation and connection
- important and useful theories about overstimulation
- 10-week guide to work with what you have learnt

The best-selling Dutch non-fiction book of 2022!
What readers say about 'Brain Under Strain':
Recommended if you want to know more about how your brain works, if you want to change its overstimulation or if you are stuck in this rapidly changing world. The author gives you the feeling that you are not alone and, in addition to facts and experiences, also provides tools.
This book describes interesting information in an easy way, which makes it clear to me as a 'layman' how the brain works and I finally understand why I have some complaints. It is sometimes a bit confrontational, but this book motivates me even more to get started with it.
