Running Is My Therapy: Relieve Stress and Anxiety, Fight Depression, and Live Happier

As a lifelong runner and someone who has dealt with mental health issues for most of my life, I found this book fantastic. Scott was so personal in his writing and he also had the science to back up all his points. I took so much away from this book and am so appreciative of Scott’s willingness to share his story with the reader.

This is by far one of the most sincere books that I have read on running. Kudos to the writer for sharing his life secrets with us which makes the book more affective with real life experience. Besides I have taken good notes for other sides of the life as well. Well written, joyful read.

i loved this book> I was already convinced of the benefits of running, but this book provided the supporting information, as well as the motivation to run. I really appreciated the transparency with which the author discussed his own personal struggles with depression and his encouragement for others in the same situation.

Very inspiring and well written. I like the mixture of science and anecdotal material. The writer is speaking from his own experience, and that adds to the power of his insights.

easy read n i recomend for this beginner n overweight n depress

I'm five weeks into running after surgery forced me to sit out for three months. I've had lifelong depression and GAD, so just about everything in this book spoke directly to me. Its chocked full of scientific studies that back up the fabled "Runner's High." Running is keeping me on an even keel these days, and I loved getting an in depth explanation of the process.

I marked 4 stars only because the cover is smudged or marred, but the book and its content are sure easy to read and very helpful. Thanks!

A well-written, easy-to-read book on the topic. Not too heavy on the science but not too shallow or wishy washy either.
