Smart Moves: Why Learning Is Not All in Your Head, Second Edition is 272 pages long.
A Practical and Courageous Book
Derived From Web , May 26, 2022
This book talks quite courageously about the causes of the problem, since it seems somewhat taboo these days to question our frantic pace and de-humanizing style of life. More to the point, she provides a number of excellent measures to rectify the problem. These measures are not transformative solutions in the sense that trying them once is instant, but some effect should be seen in the beginning and the effect builds with continued practice. We are so disengaged from these systems that we don 't recognize the maneuvers that wake them up.

Really fascinating
Derived From Web , May 26, 2022
I really enjoyed the book, which gave me a good understanding of brain development and the connection it has to movement. Strangely '' I found it a page turner, because the information was so interesting and explained succinctly.

You Have to Move to Learn
Derived From Web , Oct 24, 2018
This is an outstanding resource for anyone who wants to understand how the brain functions in general and how cross lateral movements in particular facilitate communication between the brain hemispheres. It is full of examples of how Brain Gym TM and similar physical movements can help in learning and neuroplasticity. I'm 68 and taking a Brain Gym TM class and these simple movements are very helpful to me, especially in helping me to become calm and focused. The only downside of the book, in my opinion, is that the author draws the illustrations of the brain and the images are not as good as they could be.

Great book about the connection between the mind and the body. Haven 't completed yet, but so good so far. I may also invest in the book Brain Gum as a good investment.
