  A complete and comprehensive book to help you reduce your risk of injury, overcome a current injury or increase your running performance safely. 
  Runners are constantly looking for information to reduce their risk of injury because nobody likes the ‘injured runner’ life. Despite what you may have been told, the primary cause behind running-related injuries is not from heel striking, poor flexibility, over-pronation or any other biomechanical variations. Instead, training errors are the primary cause. If you can invest your time to learn about healthy training habits and develop key injury insights, you’ll give yourself a massive training advantage. 
  Learn how to run smarter with science and with expert opinions, because failing to learn these training and rehabilitation principles can lead to stubborn running injuries or hinder your full running potential. So, survive and thrive by building upon your running wisdom. 
  Written by Brodie, a physiotherapist, owner of the Run Smarter Physiotherapy Clinic and host of the popular Run Smarter podcast which in its first two years of recording, climbed to the top 1% of podcasts globally. Brodie is on a mission to spread the right information to the running community and help separate evidence-based facts from the widespread running misconceptions.

  Yoga for Emotional Healing -...

  Yoga is a powerful practice that transcends physical exercise, offering a profound means of emotional healing. The connection between mind, body, and emotions is central to the practice, providing a holistic approach to overcoming emotional struggles and nurturing mental health. By combining breath, movement, and mindfulness, yoga becomes a tool that helps us reconnect with ourselves and process our emotions more effectively.  
  In this chapter, we explore the powerful relationship between yoga and emotional healing. It is essential to understand that emotions are not just abstract concepts; they are intricately linked to the body and mind. When we experience stress, anxiety, or emotional pain, it often manifests physically—tension in the muscles, shallow breathing, or a heavy heart. Yoga addresses these physical manifestations by guiding the body through postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama), which not only release physical tension but also open up pathways for emotional release. 
  One of the core elements of yoga is its ability to regulate the breath. Breath control is not merely a physical act; it is a direct link to our nervous system and emotional state. When we are anxious or stressed, our breath becomes shallow and rapid. By consciously controlling our breath through various pranayama techniques, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps reduce stress and induces a state of calm. This process is vital for emotional healing, as it allows us to create space between our reactions and emotions, fostering a sense of balance.

  The Power of the Other - The...

  An expert on the psychology of leadership and the bestselling author of Integrity, Necessary Endings, and Boundaries For Leaders identifies the critical ingredient for personal and professional wellbeing. 
  Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary, but not sufficient. Using evidence from neuroscience and his work with leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits. 
  Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives. 
  Combining engaging case studies, persuasive findings from cutting-edge brain research, and examples from his consulting practice, Dr. Cloud argues that whether you’re a Navy SEAL or a corporate executive, outstanding performance depends on having the right kind of connections to fuel personal growth and minimize toxic associations and their effects. Presenting a dynamic model of the impact these different kinds of connections produce, Dr. Cloud shows readers how to get more from themselves by drawing on the strength and expertise of others. You don’t have a choice whether or not others have power in your life, but you can choose what kinds of relationships you want.
