librarianlizreads's review against another edition
Genre: Non-fiction
Notable themes: Exercise, Mental Health, Disease, Addiction, Sleep +
Romance Level: None
My personal take: I found this work absolutely fascinating. It helped me to better understand my mind and the way it works and why. I am one of those people who just does better in a situation if I can understand why it is happening. That’s what this book did for me. It helped me feel better about myself and my mind because I understand why it works that way. It also provides ample tips on things you can do to improve in multiple areas of your health. Some small ways, some big ways and it encourages to start at the level that is right for you. If you’re hesitant to begin a health journey and you’re just not sure where to start, I highly recommend this read. It’s also good if you just want to understand the connection between the brain and movement for you or someone you love.
Recommended for: Everyone
Display Ideas: Physical health, mental health, a better you.
Reader’s Note: I am a teen librarian at a public library. I write these reviews to remind myself of book plot + theme, help potential readers with content, and/or to help other librarians.

Heisz talks about the notion of a Lazy Body, that we need to make ourselves move. Movement can help us in any number of ways.
It's an interesting book but a little down on any other methods outside of exercise. Preferably the exercise outside in this book.

I get the use for laymen’s terms, but I just feel like it’s dumbed down for me. Probably written for the general “reader’s level”
