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.

  • 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
