Exercise changes the brain. But which exercises have what effect? Time to get up to speed with the cutting-edge science of the mind-body connection and discover how just a little bit of movement could shift your own head to a better place
Caroline Williams originally planned to be a PE teacher, but ended up studying biology because she found the science aspects of PE more interesting than the team sports. The author of Override, she is a consultant and writer for New Scientist, and has spent several years researching the links between movement and the mind. Throwing your inner ear off balance will always change how you feel; Caroline likes to improve her mood by cycling down bumpy hills.
'In this rigorously reported and entertaining account, Williams
offers a genuinely new perspective on the links between how we move
and how we think and feel' - Alex Hutchinson, author
'Move! is science writing at its absolute best: lucid, informative,
authoritative, fascinating - and very very important' - Guy
Claxton, author
'A letter to an "I think, therefore I am" culture that knows our
bodies need exercise, but imagines our minds as somehow separate
... Even if you already "get" that exercise makes you feel better,
Move! enhances the picture so you can see how the researched
details fit together' - Katy Bowman, author
