Today’s book: The Joy of Movement by Kelly McGonigal—how movement isn’t just about fitness, but a powerful tool for joy, resilience, and connection.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Movement makes you happier. Exercise releases feel-good chemicals that boost mood, reduce stress, and increase resilience.
- Your body is wired for movement. Humans evolved to move—not sit all day. Regular movement keeps your mind and body thriving.
- The “runner’s high” is real. Any sustained movement—dancing, hiking, lifting—can trigger the brain’s natural reward system.
- Exercise builds social connection. Group workouts, sports, or even walking with a friend strengthen relationships and well-being.
- Move in a way that feels good. The best workout isn’t the hardest—it’s the one you enjoy and will keep doing.
Movement isn’t a chore—it’s a gift. How will you move your body today?
