Brain Gym for Business includes a series of exercises meant to reduce work related stress and increase productivity, creativity, and production. Unlike most exercises created for stress relief purposes, the workouts included in this book are not aerobic and don't require stretching.

The programs in this book work on the basic concepts of behavioural kinesiology. Behavioral Kinesiology looks at the connection of energy flow (chi) through the body and health (both physical and mental). Simply put, when energy is blocked within the body system, an individual experiences fatigue, pain, poor concentration, and lack of creativity.

In this way, many of the Brain Gym activities are simply postures or the conscious bending, lifting, or straighten of particular meridian lines. Workouts for various jobs are outlined in this book, complete with how each posture will increase energy, vitality, creativity, and motivation. For those occupations not listed in these pages, the reader can simply create his or her own program by picking and choosing postures according to skills required in his or her daily work.
