Get the Edge by Tony Robbins

Personal Power by Tony Robbins

There is always a way, never give up on being happy. It will get better.

[DanBC]

Evidence for exercise as a treatment for depression is weak at best, and most of the research fails to show direction of causal effect: do people who exercise recover from depression, or do people who recover from depression become well enough to do exercise?

[ricvelocity]

People who exercise recover from depression, definitely.

For these reasons and more:

- If you get outside consistently you will start facing reality from a different perspective. (being at a desk or closed office constantly sucks and contributes to mental and emotional atrophy)

- You start getting free endorphins that will make you feel better instantly.

- Also you relieve stress and pressure by burning energy.

If you mix that with travel, example running in a different place, town, country, it makes wonders.
