Exercising
Taking the first step is always the hardest but when you understand why that step is needed it makes all the difference. I do not believe anyone that states they "like" to exercise however the habit of exercising is accomplished when you truly understand and believe the benefits.This book is fantastic for understanding why, suggestions on types of exercise, and the mental benefits of exercise.Easy read.

Sound body, sound mind...
We all know exercise does the physical body good, but the mind? Dr. Leith presents a solid case for exercise as means to better mental health, and provides the means to get there. Written in a manner anyone can follow and in terms anyone can understand. A great book if you need a push to get yourself going.
