This was a collection of essays by Katy Bowman all about how our sedentary lifestyle leads to repercussions for ourselves, our community and the planet. She suggests many ideas and gives personal examples of how to move more by "stacking your life," or meeting many needs with fewer actions. It's like multitasking, but it is more holistic and value-oriented than simply about getting things done. She also talks about the many ways our outsourcing our movement does not save us time or energy or money in the long run, and makes an impact on the lives of others across the world. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Katy, and I love her voice and hearing her talk about her own life. She is very funny and likes to interject jokes and quips into her writing, which makes it entertaining to listen to. This book was not so much educational or informational as it was inspirational and thought-provoking. Katy urges us to instead of waiting for the science around movement to catch up with us, we start somewhere and do what feels right.
