If you long for accessible tools to help destress in both restful and active ways, this book is for you!

Recovery Researcher Lina Ejlertsson shares how to find recovery in a busy life – all backed by science. There are a myriad of ways to find moments of recovery in your life, and many of them are more fun than you would think. This book offers a smorgasbord of possible sources for recovery, such as nature, relaxation, exercise, culture and relationships – along with concrete tips. Learn what recovery really is and what affects your chances of achieving it. Which scents in the garden reduce your stress? How can you dance your way to good health, and why is it smart to meditate at work? What should you do when you need a break: lift weights, clear out your wardrobe or bake a cake? Ejlertsson has compiled everything we know works. She explains what happens in the body and brain, and how you can find the best recovery method for you.

In the spring of 2021, she received her PhD in public health science from Lund University, where she wrote her thesis on the importance of recovery in your day to day working life. Over the years, she has received considerable media attention for her research and regularly appears on radio, television, in news articles and podcasts, where she shares her knowledge on how we can use restorative activities and behaviours to create a healthy and sustainable life.
