Jim's Review
🐛
Jim's idea of exercise is wriggling through a particularly thick book, but Ratey makes a bulletproof case that moving your body is basically miracle medicine for your brain. The Naperville school chapter alone is worth the read. It's enough to make a worm consider tiny push-ups before every reading session. Four worms — it'll get you off the couch.
