I have been looking for a succinct book about movement for a long time now. Others have often included pseudo-science, wellness culture, or alternative medicine bullshit. This one is a straight to the point book talking about different areas of movement, the science behind it and how it it beneficial (or not so much) for us.
We all know movement is good, but being reminded of it, with a bit of background knowledge, was fun.
So here the gist, as we all know already:
Walk, use gravity, learn survival skills (e.g. swim, jump, climb), do rhythmic movements, belly laugh, stretch a little bit, breathe, focus on how your body feels, let your mind wander, trust yourself, ever stop learning, and more.
