A must read for every human. HeatherS A truly interesting. A thought provoking look at the ways movement or lack of movement in our lives impacts our bodies, our culture and even something we see as beyond influence: our science.

Another excellent book by Katy Bowman; her books are all well written with great sense of humor and the reality of sedentary lifestyles of our society in the 21st century. Most people don't believe that sitting for long periods is harmful and it can be deadly. Get up for at least 5 min every hour you sit down. I have been doing it over a year and the only time I sit down is driving and traveling by airplane.. "I enjoyed reading this book more as an evolution of her" according to Margaret Schlachter. Having read many of Ms. Bowman's other books. I enjoyed reading this book more as an evolution of her thinking than just a collection of essays. While reading this book you can see the progression the author has made over the years in the movement industry. If you are a fan of Bowman's this book is a great addition to any collection.
