Summary

Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., a prolific author and lecturer at Stanford University, believes mindful movement can quite literally reconfigure the brain. She sits down with mbg founder and co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss her new book, The Joy Of Movement, and explain how movement quite literally changes the neurochemistry of our brains. Tune in to find out the many ways movement can create true joy and reduce pain, other than that familiar endorphin rush.
