YOU: The Owner's Manual

ABOUT BUILT TO MOVE

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Simple and proven physical practices designed to improve the way your body feels—less stiffness! fewer aches and pain!—and boost the overall quality of your life, no matter how you spend your time. From the innovators behind The Ready State and the movement bible Becoming a Supple Leopard.

“The definitive guide for building an all-around healthy and high-performing body and mind.” —Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University & Host of The Huberman Lab Podcast

After decades spent working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical well-being of the rest of us. What makes a durable human? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age? And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body’s natural need for activity? 

Have you ever thrown your back out doing something as seemingly harmless as picking up groceries?

Are you avoiding activities you once loved because of pain, injury, stiffness or fatigue? Have you witnessed the tragic deterioration of an elderly loved one’s life after a slip and fall?

The billion-dollar fitness industry has led us to believe that one hour of exercise a day is what it takes to sustain our bodies.

 Yet decades coaching some of the highest-performing individuals on the planet (Oscar winners, Navy SEALs, former presidents and Olympic athletes) have shown Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett (1.3 million followers across platforms) firsthand the essential physical practices that truly support elite performance.

 Contrary to popular belief, they discovered that the secret lies in what you do the other 23 hours of the day when you aren’t exercising.

 And it turns out that the practices that support elite performance are the very same practices that can help the rest of us—anyone at any age and any fitness level—achieve a durable, pain-free body.

 The best part? Exercise is extra credit, not a prerequisite!

Their #3 New York Times Best Seller, BUILT TO MOVE: The Ten Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully (Knopf; April 4, ’23) is the antidote to our sedentary lifestyle and unveils the little levers we can all pull throughout our busy days to maximize our body’s function and make a huge difference in how we feel and how successfully we age—starting right here, right now.  

 The book offers:

The sit-and-rise test that can predict your likely lifespan

The one-leg balance that indicates your risk of being seriously injured in a fall

Expansive, anti-diet nutrition strategies that are designed to support tissue health and lean muscle mass—which in turn support healthy aging

Strategies to create a movement-rich environment in your home and workplace to support your brain and body’s need to move

This book introduces readers to a set of simple principles and practices that can be done in just 10 minutes a day, leading to greater ease of movement, better health and a happier life doing whatever it is you love to do. Most of these practices are not things you’re going to hear or read about anywhere else.

At turns funny and heartbreaking, A Boob’s Life explores both the joys and hazards inherent to living in a woman’s body. Lehr deftly blends her personal narrative with national history, starting in the 1960s with the women’s liberation movement and moving to the current feminist dialogue and what it means to be a woman. Her insightful and clever writing analyzes how America’s obsession with the female form has affected her own life’s journey and the psyche of all women today.

From her prize-winning fiction to her viral New York Times Modern Love essay, exploring the challenges facing contemporary women has been Lehr’s life-long passion. A Boob’s Life, her first project since breast cancer treatment, continues this mission, taking readers on a wildly informative, deeply personal, and utterly relatable journey. No matter your gender, you’ll never view this sexy and sacred body part the same way again.

It's not a stretch to say that the last few years have left Americans more tired than ever. However, for many people who have trouble sleeping, they are more than tired. Each night is an anxious odyssey where getting a good night's sleep feels like a battle to win rather than the easy and refreshing experience it should be. The problem is that too many people approach sleep as an issue of control rather than focusing on changing their relationship to sleep. The truth is that we all already know how to sleep – we don't need a formula to fix it, or a collection of tips to optimize it because perfection is neither necessary nor sufficient for sustainable sleep health.

Dr. Jade Wu, behavioral sleep medicine specialist and researcher, has helped hundreds of patients over the last ten years. Her debut book Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications (on-sale February 7, 2023 from St. Martin's Press; $28.99; ISBN 978-1250828408) is a guide for those with insomnia to help them shift their relationship with sleep to make it enjoyable and natural again. Even those without insomnia will find explanations and recommendations to improve their own sleep habits.

You’re too sensitive. You’re overreacting. Grow a thicker skin. You take everything so personally.

We hear these comments all too often. There’s no denying sensitivity is surrounded by stigma. We discourage it in our children, judge it in our peers, and ultimately weaponize it in our relationships with colleagues and family members. While it’s not widely understood by the public, sensitivity is an essential human trait. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 people are highly sensitive individuals, and without them, we would not have the theory of evolution, the Declaration of Independence, or Netflix.

Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo are the force behind the world’s largest online communities for sensitive people and introverts, Sensitive Refuge and Introvert, Dear. And they’re on a mission to break the negative stigma surrounding sensitivity in their forthcoming book, SENSITIVE (on sale 2/28), unveiling the hidden power of highly sensitive people (HSPs) in our loud, fast, and too-much world.

Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, SENSITIVE shows readers how leaning into their sensitivity can unlock a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. Presenting the empowering idea that sensitivity gives you access to five distinct gifts, Granneman and Sólo offers the tools and insights you need to embrace this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of your life.

Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, SENSITIVE reveals:

A clear picture of what it really means to be sensitive and what strengths sensitive people bring to the world

Are you an HSP? A checklist of the most common characteristics of sensitive people

What makes the sensitive brain different — and how it’s wired to go deep

How the needs of sensitive people differ from those of less sensitive people

How to transform one of the misunderstood gifts of sensitive people—empathy—into a source of world-changing strength

The common misconceptions about sensitive children—and their secret advantage

The powerful traits of sensitive leaders, who are often the most effective leaders of all

Known to medical researchers since the 1980s, LADA is just now beginning to be known to the general public. KICKASS HEALTHY LADA: How to Thrive with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (Hachette Go; 4/4/23; $13.99; ISBN: 9780306830747) is the first and only trade book on the market dedicated to treating the 3.4 million people diagnosed with LADA in the U.S., the millions that have been misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, the 30 million with other forms of diabetes, and even the 88 million pre-diabetic Americans. Thoroughly researched, empathetic, and practical KICKASS HEALTHY LADA shares author Jacqueline Haskins's hard-earned expertise. Medically reviewed and vetted, this go-to guide provides critical information and insights, including:

•A detailed breakdown of the different diabetes diagnoses

•What makes LADA different and how to find the best treatment team

•Insulin: what it is, what it does, and how to know if we need more of this natural hormone

•Tools for good health with LADA, including food and nutrition advice

•Introducing Carb-Craft: how to safely enjoy the foods you love

Originally misdiagnosed, Haskins visited five doctors before getting helpful guidance. Lacking a supportive and authoritative guide, Haskins spent months educating herself by scouring medical publications to weave together an understanding of LADA to take charge of her life and learn to thrive with this chronic, life-threatening, yet conquerable disease. Bringing compassion, humor, and hope to people with LADA and their loved ones from a patient's point of view, Haskins builds a solid biology-based understanding, lays out clear strategies, and addresses the social and psychological aspects of living with LADA. Through this essential toolkit, empowers the general public, newly-diagnosed, and long-diagnosed seeking support.

The first book for the general public on LADA (Latent Auto-immune Diabetes in Adults) aka Diabetes 1.5, Kickass Healthy LADA offers the most up to date (and little known) information, with practical strategies and tips for healthy living.

If you are one of the millions of Americans with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), you may not even know it. You may be one of the ten percent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who actually have LADA. Even if you do know that you have LADA, sometimes called "diabetes 1.5," you're likely to be inundated with unhelpful advice and potentially harmful treatments, leaving you feeling confused and overwhelmed. That was Jacqueline Haskins' experience. After visiting five doctors before getting helpful guidance, and realizing there wasn't a friendly "how-to" book meant for the general public about LADA—she decided to write one.Thoroughly researched, empathetic, and practical, Kickass Healthy LADA shares Haskins's hard-earned expertise. Medically reviewed and vetted, this go-to guide provides critical information and insights, including:

Readers will discover:

•A clear and simple science-based guide on good health for a wide audience.

•There are more types of diabetes than most realize. KICKASS HEALTHY LADA explains how to know if there has been a misdiagnosis, and why this matters.

•People living with diabetes can reduce risks, symptoms, and be as healthy as any other person: depending on the type of diabetes they have, how early it is caught, and how hard they work at it. Well-controlled diabetes is the leading cause of nothing.

•Many common beliefs about diabetes do not apply to LADA.

•Opportunities to change economic and racial inequalities in diabetes health.
