On Muscle and Mind: How Strength Training Changes Your Brain, Improves Your Mental Health, and Lengthens Your Life | Bonnie Tsui

What muscles are for, how to get them, and why it's never too late to start building them.

Bonnie Tsui is a longtime contributor to The New York Times and the bestselling author of Why We Swim, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and a Time magazine and NPR Best Book of the Year. Her work has been recognized and supported by Harvard University, the National Press Foundation, the Mesa Refuge, and the Best American Essays series. Her newest book is called On Muscle.

This episode is part of our ongoing Get Fit Sanely series.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The connection between our muscles and mental health
  • The many benefits of strength training
  • How society, culture, and history have shaped the way we think about beauty standards and strength
  • Misconceptions about the six-pack
  • Running as a tool for healing
  •  The psychological impact of realizing your own physical potential
  • The symbolism and science of the push-up
  •  The connection between our muscles and our longevity
  • Practical advice for beginning strength training
  • And food habits that supports muscle growth

Paid subscribers of DanHarris.com will have exclusive access to a set of all-new guided meditations, led by friend of the show Cara Lai, customized to accompany each episode of the Get Fit Sanely series.
