Jim's Review
🐛
This Swedish psychiatrist makes the "exercise is brain medicine" case in a tighter package than John Ratey's Spark. Hansen keeps it short and punchy, which Jim appreciates — worms have limited attention spans. The science overlaps with Spark but the writing is breezier. Three worms — solid if you want the cliff notes version.
