Move: How the New Science of Body Movement Can Set Your Mind Free

What an awesome and informative book. I really enjoyed it. So much information and I love the "snacks" idea. Thank you.

I learned some things about how my body responds to different types of moving.It is a book that you can skip around to the parts that look most relevant to you or read it all.

Move by Caroline Williams The benefits of movement presented in a readable well-researched book. Many helpful tips are provided in how to incorporate movement into your lifestyle. A valuable resource on the mind body connection.Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

I love learning about the research on the relationship between movement and cognition. Professionally, I am a researcher who does work in the area of embodied cognition. In my life beyond my career, I have learned that my own happiness, productivity, and mental health are deeply connected with my body. I exercise at least 6 times a week and consciously take walk and movement breaks from work. Caroline Williams has done a fabulous job of artfully sequencing the chapters of the book from the evolutionary explanation for the mind/body as one (to move with agility and accuracy to hunt food requires intellect) to what we know about how movement impacts creativity, cognitive ability, memory, productivity, etc. I read the book through my library but have now purchased it 3 times for friends.

You need to read this book. It breathes life into why you need to keep moving your body and liberates the ways in which you can do it. The thoughts are backed up by solid research. Cannot recommend this book more.

As an older man, I wish I had included more movement in my life. As Caroline suggests, it’s never too late to start a plan and enjoy more movement at any age. Hey, let’s go!

Summarizes and explains how the body's organs, muscles, and nerves send signals to the brain and how these signals affect the brain and how the subconscious brain interprets and reacts to those signals. Excellent information that may result in less psychotropic medications. Dr. Robert Prout, Professor Emeritus, Saint Cloud State University

The subject matter is interesting, and likely important. But I had to throw it away after half an hour of reading. The book is very poorly written. Instead of direct description of matters and concepts, every sentence is a long winding often irrelevant discourse. Often it is so convoluted, I get totally lost, no longer being able to follow her. She could have written the whole thing in 50 pages.
