Let's just get it out of the way. I'm sure you're tired of hearing it, but exercise is the best thing you can do for your MIND and body. Every body is different. We all don't need to be gym bro's (or gals), but we do need to find that sweet spot of physical activity to promote optimal health and mental wellness. This book does a great job of fully outlining the mind-body connection and putting the mental benefits of physical activity on full display.

Ever felt like you've hit a dead end? Like you're not progressing the way you should and then beat yourself up about it? Yeah, we've all been there. This light read is great for describing the science behind stuck (no, it's not because you're lazy) and how to move past those mental and emotional blocks. Free yourself from the guilt, and some of the responsibility, of feeling stuck and unlock your potential.

Maybe the previous reading was too...light., and just wasn't direct enough for you. Do you like your advice like you like your whiskey? This is one of the most utilized book recommendations in practice here at CAMBA Health. Why? Because sometimes we need to be direct and honest with ourselves in order to make meaningful change. And bonus, in an industry that is dominated by women, it is written from a male perspective offering a different take on the notion of agency, responsibility, and self-care, because men need that too.

It's a known fact that Black mental health has been largely ignored for a long time. That fact doesn't prevent crises from happening though. From lack of access to quality care, racism, chronic illness, black mental health has taken on a lot with little discussion of how to heal from psychological distress. This book explores the state of black mental health in America, while also providing tools and resources for reducing stigma, identifying challenges, practicing emotional wellness, and getting the best care possible to become the best you ever.

What's more important than breathing? You would think more of us would do it effectively. Truth is, we don't. This book explores the lost art of breath work, laying out the foundation of breathing as the pillar to everything we do, and want to do, well. Did I mention it even provides some exercises? Read this to learn ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, improve your exercise routine, and just...breathe.
