    Excellent Book!

    An interesting and easy read. Super valuable information that I have put to use for many years; it's great to find validation. The human body was designed for physical work and this book proves it. Quite scientific yet spoken in the vernacular, these principles applied to anyone's daily life will result in improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health........it's really a no brainer.

    Interesting and Intriguing, A Bit Out of Date

    The book discusses the influence of exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, on all aspects of ones mental state. The claims are pretty broad. With all of the brain science that has gone on since its publication, it could really use an update, just to demonstrate that the claims are borne out.

    Spark by John Ratey

    I loved this book! I read this for a final project in school, and I'm very glad I chose this book. I used to exercise a lot when I played basketball in high school, and worked out when I've had time in college, but not on a regular basis. This book has re-motivated me to get back on a work out routine, and now I'll be more aware of some amazing benifits of exercise. The research Dr. Ratey has done is amazing, and it has reminded me of how good I did feel when I was on a better exercise routine. Overall a very interesting book with great case studies, and it is definitely worth reading. It does seem to repeat itself at times, but it's not so noticeable that it gets on your nerves.
