Spark by Eric Hagerman, John J. Ratey M.D. (2008, Hardcover)

I loved this book! I read this for a final project in school, and I'm very glad I chose this book. I used to exercise a lot when I played basketball in high school, and worked out when I've had time in college, but not on a regular basis. This book has re-motivated me to get back on a work out routine, and now I'll be more aware of some amazing benifits of exercise. The research Dr. Ratey has done is amazing, and it has reminded me of how good I did feel when I was on a better exercise routine. Overall a very interesting book with great case studies, and it is definitely worth reading.

It does seem to repeat itself at times, but it's not so noticeable that it gets on your nerves.

Wonderful insight to the links between the brain & physical activity. This book explains why taking Physical Education out of our schools has been so devestating in ways that most people don't even realize. Covering ADHD to aging & everything in between, great information-though it is a bit dry at times.
