Old fave, new intro! In Season 7, we talked to psychologist and award-winning BBC broadcaster Claudia Hammond about the importance of rest. Claudia shares with us why it's so important to our health that we regularly have guilt free rest, what's happening in our brains when we rest... and when we don't. And why we all need to take it more seriously.
Her book The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research that Claudia collaborated on –The Rest Test – the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, across 135 different countries.
Claudia Hammond is a broadcaster, author and psychology lecturer. She is the presenter of All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 which covers psychology, neuroscience & mental health. Plus, the weekly global health show Health Check on BBC World Service. She is Visiting Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Sussex. She also writes a regular column on medical myths for BBC Future.
