Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy. Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery.

In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Publisher's summary
In this innovative title, celebrated trainer and trauma practitioner Laura Khoudari brings a fresh approach to healing after trauma, using strength training as an embodied movement practice. Compassionate, witty, and fastidiously researched, Khoudari's debut, Lifting Heavy Things, is a breakthrough title that will empower and inspire you to develop resilience and build emotional and physical strength through working out with weights, while mindful of the ways that trauma can compromise the wellbeing of the mind and body.
In Lifting Heavy Things, you'll learn about: managing chronic pain; creating the conditions for training and healing; understanding how trauma shows up in daily life; using embodied movement practices (beyond yoga) as a tool to comfortably reinhabit the body; navigating interpersonal relationships during and after the healing process; why you don't have to tell your trauma story (to everyone); and thriving with and moving beyond trauma.
With humor, tenderness, and grit, Lifting Heavy Things takes listeners on a journey of personal revelation and integration, helping them to lighten their emotional burden and build deep inner strength to lift all of the heavy things that life may bring with greater ease.

Story
It's pernicious...it's diabolical...it creeps into every moment of our lives. It influences our relationships, impacts our physical body, works its way into our conversations, sparks non-nourishing behaviors, and forces us to do things we'd never want to do. It's infectious; it's relentless.... It's stress! We all know it. We all experience it. It's the human condition - but through this audiobook, you will learn to transcend it.

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

Just exercise, move your body.
She has some good points but is pushing too much of a point of view and political viewpoint. Stop whining and lift heaving with good form! Skip this book.

Narrator
If the book was better, I couldn’t tell—the narrator delivered like a robot making a personal story *feel* incredibly impersonal. Hard to get through bc of that.

This story drags on
I'm struggling to get through this book. The beginning just drags on and is unreasonable. Maybe I'm not her target audience.

Excellent resource!
I am a physical therapist & yoga instructor and work with my clients incorporating nervous system regulation / somatic practices to overcome persistent pain. This book is a wonderful resource to bring those principles into weight training and life long changes in health and well being. Thank you!!

great book, bad audio
The messages were heartfelt and personal....the audio...not so much...to me it sounds like a cold robot who is pretending to care. That being said I still recommend this book to friends and family.

Psychotherapy for the easily triggered!
If you want to be a fragile human being this book is for you :) if you want to be a strong resilient human read Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life or David Goggins “can’t hurt me”

Slow and too basic
The author just goes on and on and on about herself
it’s lacking in content as to developing your own practice.
Very snowflake and victim orientated
Would not recommend
