Speaker: Professor Barbara Jacquelyn Sahakian, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge

Synopsis: Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. In times of stress, enhanced cognition and reserves of resilience are vital in maintaining our wellbeing. This talk will draw on evidence-based ways to improve our brain health, cognition, and overall wellbeing based on Brain Boost: Healthy Habits for a Happier Life. I will explore the benefits of exercise, diet, sleep, social interactions, kindness, mindfulness and learning and how adopting these healthy habits will lead to a longer, happier life and a flourishing society.
