Troels W. Kjær: Unplug - and Strengthen Your Brain

In this lecture for FOF Aarhus, neuroscientist Troels W. Kjær explores new research on why breaks are not a waste of time, but one of the most important conditions for learning, wellbeing, and mental strength. Both short daily breaks and sleep's major pause are on the agenda - and his point is that the answer to modern life's pace may not be to work faster, but to dare to stop.

Troels Wesenberg Kjær is a physician, neuroscientist, and former chief physician and professor. He has written several books about the brain for a general audience and is currently promoting the book Unplug (March 2026).

The lecture takes place in the Great Hall at Aarhus Main Library.
