"A healthy mind in a healthy body. This idea has been known to mankind since the time of the ancient Greeks, and few today doubt whether it is true. But how to put it into practice? In her new book Movement!, Caroline William reveals how new scientific knowledge about body movement can free our minds. It is based on the premise that the nervous system did not evolve primarily for thinking, but only for movement. And because autonomous movement makes sense when you can control its direction, thinking has become a bonus. But what happens to a person's mind, which, thanks to modern conveniences, practically stops? Did you know that strengthening the body's core (core training) can fight a variety of mental and physical ailments? We all know that exercise changes the way we think and feel. But scientists are just beginning to find out exactly how it works. The book complements the theory with concrete advice that readers can apply to their own lives.
