Michael reveals how to boost your mood, focus, creativity and help your eyesight - by simply stopping work for a moment!

In this episode, Michael reveals why adding regular breaks to your day can benefit your body, your mind and even your productivity.

Michael speaks to cognitive neuroscientist Professor Moshe Bar from Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv to find out exactly what goes on in our brains when we allow our minds to wander, and why it could be a good thing for mood, problem solving and creativity.
