#274 Why You Need More Rest with Claudia Hammond (Re-Release)

Published: May 21, 2022, 11 p.m.

This episode is part of our re-release series.\nWarning: some people might find this podcast seriously restful. \nIf that sounds appealing, it should do, because rest is something we all need to prioritise. So says this week\u2019s guest, Claudia Hammond, who argues that being busy isn\u2019t a badge of honour \u2013 and taking time out is definitely not lazy. We examine the science behind our struggles to relax and she shares some brilliant insights on our attitudes to downtime, the top 10 activities most likely to help us switch off, and what the benefits are for our health, wellbeing and productivity. \nIf you need a reminder of why rest is so important \u2013 and permission to do it, without feeling guilty \u2013 this is it. So put your feet up (or head out for a walk, if you find that more restful), and listen in.\nThanks to our sponsors:\nhttps://www.leafyard.com/livemore\nhttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/livemore\nhttps://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore\nOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book\xa0Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version:\xa0https://amzn.to/304opgJ, US & Canada version:\xa0https://amzn.to/3DRxjgp\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
