MIDDLETOWN – First Fridays Yoga & Book Club

Additional Information

We're taking January off from our monthly book club meetings (everyone is simply too busy around the holidays to commit to reading), but we'll be back on Friday, February 1st. So come join us for $5 First Friday Gentle Yoga 5:45-6:45pm, followed by snacks, wine and great conversation led by Russell Library's Christy Clark Billings during our book club. Our next read is "Super Better" by Jane McGonigal.

In 2009, game designer and author Jane McGonigal suffered a severe concussion that wouldn’t heal. Unable to think clearly, or work, or even get out of bed, she became anxious and depressed, even suicidal—a common symptom for concussion sufferers. But rather than let herself sink further, she decided to get better by doing what she does best: she turned her recovery process into a game. What started as a simple motivational exercise became a set of rules she shared on her blog. These rules became a digital game, then an online portal and a major research study with the National Institutes of Health. Today more than 400,000 people have played SuperBetter to get happier and healthier. (Review excerpt from goodreads.com)
