Nearing forty, Dr. Wendy Suzuki was at the pinnacle of her career. A university professor and neuroscientist, she had tenure, her own successful research lab, prestigious awards, and international renown. To celebrate her birthday, she booked an adventure trip that forced her to wake up to a startling reality: despite her professional success, she was overweight, lonely, and tired and knew that her life had to change. Wendy started simply by going to an exercise class. She noticed an improvement in her memory, her energy levels, and her ability to work quickly and move from task to task easily. Not only did Wendy begin to get fit, but she also became sharper, had more energy, and her memory improved. Being a neuroscientist, she wanted to know why. Wendy discovered that there is a biological connection between exercise, mindfulness, and action. With exercise, your body feels more alive and your brain actually performs better. Yes you can make yourself smarter. Taking us on a journey inside the brain, Suzuki helps us unlock the keys to neuroplasticity that can change our brains, or bodies, and, ultimately, our lives.

Fitzpatrick, Billie.
