Psychologist Kelly McGonigal Reveals Why Movement Matters

Today, we’re speaking with an author, psychologist, and educator who is passionate about helping you understand the mind-body connection when it comes to exercise, mental health, and happiness. Her TED Talk titled “How to Make Stress Your Friend,” has amassed a staggering 25 million views. In her latest book, The Joy of Movement, she explores how just 20-minutes of physical exercise can be a powerful antidote to the afflictions of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. The key takeaways from our conversation include why physical activity during the pandemic is absolutely essential and how it is strongly linked to mental health, the importance of collective joy, distinguishing dependence from harmful addiction, how movement and music fuel you for everything else that matters in your life, and the vital role of “hope molecules” in improving our levels of resilience.
