How to Think About Exercise

Author and philosopher Damon Young interrogates the false dichotomy between body and mind in How to Think About Exercise. Physical labor and exercise doesn't have to exclude mental participation and Young uses plenty of real-world examples. Haruki Murakami took up running and changed his outlook on life (he also got a book out of it);  Schopenhauer considered his swimming sessions to be sublime, and Darwin thought up his best stuff while exercising. By exercising both our minds and our bodies, we can reach our full potential.
