Description

A #1 New York Times bestseller from neuroscientist, Stanford School of Medicine professor and Huberman Lab host Andrew D. Huberman, Protocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body is a practical guide to improving mental and physical health, performance and everyday wellbeing.

Huberman explores how physiology can be shaped through two complementary approaches: foundational behaviours that support your day-to-day mental and physical state, and specific science-based tools designed to address common challenges or improve performance.

The book brings these practices together as “protocols”, covering seven key areas: sleep, exercise, stress control, nutrition, light, focus, motivation and learning, and personal growth. Examples range from using morning light to support sleep to breathing techniques for managing stress, alongside approaches for improving strength, learning and other aspects of physical and mental performance.

With explanations of the science behind each protocol, Huberman shows how the practices can be adapted to individual needs rather than followed as a rigid set of rules. Drawing on decades of research, including his own work and insights from experts he has interviewed, Protocols offers a structured approach to understanding and improving how the brain and body function.
