Book Description
Bestselling Move Your DNA has shaken up the health and fitness world with this message: there is more to movement than exercise. "A landmark in explaining biomechanics." Dr. Joan Vernikos, Former Director of NASA’s life science division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals It’s often said that "movement is medicine," but rarely is the how behind the power of movement explained. It’s not only our whole body that’s moving; our cells are being moved as our limbs push and pull to locomote us around, and each movement moves our cells uniquely. Some of the "big ideas" in this paradigm-shifting book include: The human body evolved to a tremendous amount of certain movements―like walking, squatting, hanging, and carrying―loads our bodies still require to work well, even though they’re mostly gone from our "convenience-centric" culture. Many of the ailments we face today relate to how little we move and how stiff our bodies are when we do move. Body issues are often more accurately symptoms of "movement malnutrition." Why a physical therapist or personal trainer is coaching you in alignment or "good form": we’re adapting most to our daily positioning! It’s not only "move more," it’s "move more of your body parts!" (All bodies, couch potatoes to high-level athletes have areas that can be nourished with better movement.) We’re using exercise like "movement vitamins" instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet. We should be using both! Move Your DNA also contains: 40+ corrective exercises to help you find your "sticky spots"―areas of your body that just aren’t moving (even when the rest of you moves a lot) alignment checks and a guide to increasing your walking movements simple lifestyle changes to get you moving more (without always needing to add exercise!). Keen laypeople, yoga and pilates teachers, fitness enthusiasts, personal trainers, physical therapists, and athletes can all use this humorous, passionate, and science-based guide to finally getting the movement every body requires.

The Innovator's DNA
Author: Jeff Dyer
Publisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 142214271X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A new classic, cited by leaders and media around the globe as a highly recommended read for anyone interested in innovation. In The Innovator’s DNA, authors Jeffrey Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and bestselling author Clayton Christensen (The Innovator’s Dilemma, The Innovator’s Solution, How Will You Measure Your Life?) build on what we know about disruptive innovation to show how individuals can develop the skills necessary to move progressively from idea to impact. By identifying behaviors of the world’s best innovators—from leaders at Amazon and Apple to those at Google, Skype, and Virgin Group—the authors outline five discovery skills that distinguish innovative entrepreneurs and executives from ordinary managers: Associating, Questioning, Observing, Networking, and Experimenting. Once you master these competencies (the authors provide a self-assessment for rating your own innovator’s DNA), the authors explain how to generate ideas, collaborate to implement them, and build innovation skills throughout the organization to result in a competitive edge. This innovation advantage will translate into a premium in your company’s stock price—an innovation premium—which is possible only by building the code for innovation right into your organization’s people, processes, and guiding philosophies. Practical and provocative, The Innovator’s DNA is an essential resource for individuals and teams who want to strengthen their innovative prowess.
