Health & Fitness. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:The bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct introduces a surprising science-based book that doesn't tell us why we should exercise but instead shows us how to fall in love with movement.
Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But, as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy.
Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and masteryâ??and why it is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.
McGonigal tells the stories of people who have found fulfillment and belonging through running, walking, dancing, swimming, weightlifting, and more, with examples that span the globe, from Tanzania, where one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet live, to a dance class at Juilliard for people with Parkinson's disease, to the streets of London, where volunteers combine fitness and community service, to races in the remote wilderness, where athletes push the limits of what a human can endure. Along the way, McGonigal paints a portrait of human nature that highlights our capacity for hope, cooperation, and self-transcendence.
The result is a revolutionary narrative that goes beyond familiar arguments in favor of exercise, to illustrate why movement is integral to both our happiness and our humanity. Readers will learn what they can do in their own lives and communities to harness the power of movement to create happiness, meaning, and connecti

Audiobook-This really wasn't what I expected from this type of book. I expected dry facts, just the facts. What I got was stories of people who moved, the changes it brought, both mental and physical, and the Covid backlash. Changes from group activities vs alone activities, the differences were fascinating. Dancing, who knew what that did for us beyond the joy of the moment ? Once again it was fascinating. The stories tied in the science backed facts with real life people and experiences. A couple times it felt like rambling but that was only from a story that had little relation to me. I listened to this while I hiked everyday I hiked farther, enjoyed it more knowing what other benefits it offered me. Depression, oyi ! It really does push that beast out of you heart, thank the gods. I have been down for the last 3 years, deep depression brought on by isolation, lack of exercise and a feeling of hopelessness. Since starting this I've been getting my but up and moving, hiking, dancing, walking, sometimes just swaying with a beat, and I feel happier.
I enjoyed it, it was a nice change and I learned from it. What I learned from it stuck and motivated me.
Would I buy the book, no. One listen was enough. ( )

McGonigal is a researcher but also a group exercise instructor and participant so as a relatively new group ex instructor I was really interested in that part of this books. There was alot about group ex that made sense of what I see and experience and I liked finding that there was some reasons why it might be very effective for some people in ways that other exercises might not be. She did loose me a bit on the endurance athletes because I find that totally unappealing but she did tie is back together in a way that made sense. I definitely have some new insights to bring to my teaching.

I picked this book up at the library out of curiosity and decided to give it a shot. I have to say I didn't quite get the point other than yes the generalization is movement is a good thing. The author conducts exercise and dance classes and has an impressive academic background. She goes into many examples relating to how people inherently strive for movement that is DNA'd into us from the earliest origins. Yes many benefits both physically and psychologically are be derived from moving, in any form. Seems perfectly logical, yet look at all those who barely move several feet in a day. ( )
