About the Author
Caroline Williams originally planned to be a PE teacher, but ended up studying biology because she found the science aspects of PE more interesting than the team sports. The author of Override, she is a consultant and writer for New Scientist, and has spent several years researching the links between movement and the mind. Throwing your inner ear off balance will always change how you feel; Caroline likes to improve her mood by cycling down bumpy hills.
Reviews
In this rigorously reported and entertaining account, Williams offers a genuinely new perspective on the links between how we move and how we think and feel -- Alex Hutchinson, author * Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance *
Move! is science writing at its absolute best: lucid, informative, authoritative, fascinating - and very very important -- Guy Claxton, author * Intelligence In The Flesh *
A letter to an "I think, therefore I am" culture that knows our bodies need exercise, but imagines our minds as somehow separate ... Even if you already "get" that exercise makes you feel better, Move! enhances the picture so you can see how the researched details fit together -- Katy Bowman, author * Move Your DNA *
