Summary:
"There’s no other book like this. Longtime
running
writer Scott Douglas marshals expert advice (especially his own, cultivated from more than 110,000 miles of personal experience), and a growing body of scientific research to show how
running
can make us
happier
. How? Everyone knows that
running
builds stronger muscles and a healthier heart; science now shows it also helps develop a healthier brain. For those struggling with
depression
and
anxiety
, a consistent
running
routine can enhance the mental-health benefits of talk
therapy
, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral
therapy
. The key to running’s therapeutic power lies in its lasting physiological effects, inducing changes in brain structure and chemistry that other forms of exercise don’t—including the best mood boost in all of sports, thanks to the body’s release of natural pain-relievers.
Running
is
my
therapy
is no longer just a mantra for seasoned runners; with science behind him, Douglas presents proven methods so that we can all use
running
to improve our mental health and
live
happier—in and out of
running
shoes."--From publisher.
