Caroline Williams on movement and the mind

Science journalist Caroline Williams joins Joseph Dweck to explore the powerful connection between body and mind.

They delve into how movement can reshape our mental health through neuroplasticity, why we’ve become so sedentary, and how even simple physical habits can rewire our brains and reduce anxiety. Drawing from her books Override and Move, Caroline shares insights from her personal experiments with brain training and neuroscience labs around the world.

Whether it’s building strength, dancing with others, or walking in the fresh air, she explains how physical activity can be a form of self-knowledge and mental resilience.

Caroline Williams is a journalist and author focused on human biology, the brain, and the mind-body connection. Her books include Override: My Plastic Brain and Move: The New Science of Body Over Mind. She writes for New Scientist, BBC Future, and The Guardian.
