Why We Treat The Body Rigorously | Bonnie Tsui
Manage episode 478554688 series 2426337
"The body should be treated more rigorously, so that it may not be disobedient to the mind." — Seneca
In today’s episode, Ryan sits down with Bonnie Tsui - author, swimmer, surfer - to unpack the deep connection between our muscles and mental resilience. They dive into everything from the intelligence of muscle memory, what the ancient Stoics knew about strength that we’ve forgotten, how exercise can actually bulk up your brain, and much more.
Bonnie Tsui is a journalist, New York Times contributor, swimmer, surfer, and the author of American Chinatown: A People’s History of Five Neighborhoods, Why We Swim, and now On Muscle.
