Move: How the New Science of Body Movement Can Set Your Mind Free

Caroline Williams, 2021

Finished June 2026

My Take

This book has blown me away. The connections between how we use our bodies and what happens in the brain are stronger and more direct than I ever realized.

Williams is unusually careful about what the science actually supports. When she discusses ideas that aren't yet solid, she says so explicitly. If you want a new way to think about your body, start here.

What role this plays in the Lab

Helps me think about movement not just as fitness, but as brain care, mood support, and everyday mental health.
