Hi, guys. I made a Storify of people talking about B. J. Novak's new book One More Thing. Long story short: I loved it, and others did too. Visit this ---> Storify post <--- to see the buzz this new book is getting.
I checked this book out after being drawn in by its title. A "mindful" body sounds much better to have than a mindless one! There's a lot of new science out there about how conditions of the body affect the brain, like the mind-gut connection, and this book is a great companion to those studies. I appreciated learning about the placebo affect and enjoyed listening to stories about how people experienced less pain when they were able to ignore it more. I love exploring ideas that promote the mind-over-matter concept. If you've ever wondered, "but how sick am I *really*?" this book is for you! -Melody
