I really wanted to like this one because so many mental health books overlook the benefits of physical activity, especially as a nervous system regulator, but this just didn't do it for me. The content is adequate but the delivery is awful. It's like an 8th grader found a thesaurus. It covers longevity, cognition, self-esteem, targets, flow, breath, sleep, uniqueness, and perseverance but poorly. Skip it.

Another fantastic book from @jeremy__bhandari ! Jeremy’s book Trust the Grind was the book I used for my Librarian in the Huddle program and when he reached out about this one, I was so excited to get my hands on it!

So much of this book would be a great book study program with any athletic team, health and nutrition students and just students who want to reach certain goals with their body. My husband loved it, I loved it, and I know any teen or athlete would love this. If you have implemented a librarian in the huddle program at your campus, this book would be perfect.

In this book, Jeremy highlights how a commitment to fitness can help your entire self, not just your body but mind, drive and emotional state as well.

This is a must for any HS NF collection!

Interesting breakdown of how fitness correlates with one's own goals. I've never thought of this, but it's clear that regular exercise enhance's the odds of achieving what you want in life.

Prose that waxes on in broad strokes to say absolutely nothing.
