Author Event: Jodi Wilson at Devonport Library

Join us for the launch of Jodi Wilson's new book A Brain That Breathes, a thoughtful, evidence-based guide to what our brains truly need to stay happy, healthy and productive.

After a lifetime with anxiety, Jodi wanted to better understand herself so she could continue to be creative and productive without slipping into overwhelm and exhaustion. In this fascinating exploration of the brain and body, she discovers that neuroscientists and psychologists, as well as artists and sustainable living experts, all agree on the one habit that can change how we live. It's something our ancestors had in abundance but we've essentially eradicated from our lives: free time, spare time, leisure time - real space to breathe.

A Brain that Breathes is full of accessible and practical suggestions to embrace the power of 'enoughness', 'soft fascination' and intentional 'not-doing' so you can declutter your mind, restore your attention, and live every day with breathing space.

At this free event, hear Jodi Wilson talk about the ideas behind her latest work. Books will be available for purchase from the Devonport Bookshop on the night - chat to Jodi as she signs them for you.
