Go Wild by John J. Ratey
Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Modern Life
This book argues that many modern physical and mental health problems stem from an evolutionary mismatch between the environments our brains and bodies evolved for and the sedentary, processed, sleep-deprived, and socially isolated lives many people lead today; drawing on neuroscience and clinical research, it shows how movement, whole foods, adequate sleep and light exposure, connection with nature and others, and intentional stressors (like high-intensity burst exercise, cold exposure, and intermittent fasting) can boost mood, cognition, and resilience by restoring neurochemical balance, increasing BDNF and neurogenesis, and re-aligning circadian and metabolic systems — and it offers practical, science-backed steps to incorporate these ancestral lifestyle principles into modern life.
