How Running Like an Animal Makes us Human

Talk Summary: Somewhere between chasing other animals for food and clicking a mouse to purchase a toaster oven on Amazon.com, we stopped living a physical life. But human existence and experience are physical, just like for all other animals. How Running Like an Animal Makes Us Human breaks apart the mind-body dualism that places the mind ahead of the body and treats it as the body-mind dependence that places the body ahead of the mind, explaining that when you train your Body from the outside in, rather than from the inside out, profound changes occur to your Brain, which stimulate your Mind and your approach to life
