Really eye opening that takes the science deep on what we all inherently know to be true: we didn’t evolve to be sedentary and exercise is good. But looking at the evolutionary and anthropological history of physical activity going from how to survive to now being prescribed medically is much needed

Really appreciated all the myth busting, the breaking down scientific papers to get beyond typical media hype, and just overall putting motivation into not just why but how to exercise to best ensure a longer, happier, more productive life.

In the end, these health outcomes are more about probabilities than certainties (e.g., extreme athletes still sometimes dying young and couch potatoes sometimes living past 100), but having this book around will definitely motivate me to put those odds in my favor on a day to day basis.
