Understanding 'Hurry Sickness' and 'Busy Brain'
The chapter explores the concepts of 'hurry sickness' and 'busy brain', describing how the pace of life during the pandemic has intensified these feelings of urgency and stress. It discusses the impact of chronic stress on brain health, the connection between inflammation in the brain, stress, and sleep deprivation, and the importance of lifestyle changes and mindfulness in managing busy brain. The chapter also touches on the effects of technology, particularly social media, on exacerbating 'busy brain' and its negative impacts on productivity and mental health in society.
