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”

we all know exercise is good for you. both physically and
mentally, This is a very well known fast that has been
known for many years. This topic old not seem unique, of

talks so much about her own fitness journey and how it
impacted her.
I can see how this book might encourage some to take
the first few stems into their fitness journey. However,
the back only seems to take into consideration those who
already have access to many things, required to even
start exercising. The book title says overcome anxiety,

This is audiobook that I got as a Wall Street Journal+ member (a membership through my university). I was a little skeptical at first and the style of the book didn't quite match with what I like, but the author, Jennifer Heisz, does have some really interesting research to share. Some of the issues aren't ones I share - like anxiety or addiction - but others - like sleep and focus - were ones I was interested in. Plus she talks about avoiding dementia and who doesn't want to do that.
I need to get my hands on the downloadable pdfs that go along with it. Most of her recommendations are very doable and I like her approach to use exercise to overcome a lot of common problems.
My one main annoyance with the book is how often she uses a style of asking and answering questions. She'll write: Blah, blah, blah, you ask. Something something something, I reply. She does this over and over and over again. But I could overlook that with the good info she provides.
