Your Body is Your Brain: Leverage Your Somatic Intelligence to Find Purpose, Build Resilience, Deepen Relationships and Lead More Powerfully by Amanda Blake
4.0
What an interesting book. The premise feels simple and profound: body awareness is necessary for an integrated, whole life; an integrated life is a life worth pursuing. It's eminently readable, with many case studies and characters with different backgrounds and relatable challenges, who apply different techniques in a wealth of ways. That'd a strength for the book.
Many concepts as labeled were unfamiliar to me 'biobehavioral feedback' and 'somatic intelligence,' although after they were defined and described, they also felt familiar. So, reading this, I had the experience of awakening recognition rather than learning for the first time.
There is a four part framework to guide the book, and I found this distracting. I think an outline would have served as well, or better, than a model. Perhaps it's an adaptation from training or a different forum, and a closer reading on my part would support deeper connection.
