A groundbreaking and fascinating investigation into the
transformative effects of exercise on the brain, from the
bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist John J. Ratey,
MD.
Did you know you can beat stress, lift
your mood, fight memory loss, sharpen your intellect, and
function better than ever simply by elevating your heart
rate and breaking a sweat? The evidence is incontrovertible:
Aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak
performance.
In SPARK, John J. Ratey, M.D.,
embarks upon a fascinating and entertaining journey through
the mind-body connection, presenting startling research to
prove that exercise is truly our best defense against
everything from depression to ADD to addiction to aggression

Naperville, Illinois, which has put this school district of
19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores),
SPARK is the first book to explore comprehensively the
connection between exercise and the brain. It will change

that matter, simply the way you think
