520    "A groundbreaking popular psychology book that explores 
       the deep connection between our body and our brain. Over 
       decades of study, University of Virginia psychologist 
       Dennis Proffitt has shown that we are each living our own 
       personal version of Gulliver's Travels, where the size and
       shape of the things we see are scaled to the size of our 
       bodies, and our ability to interact with them. Stairs look
       less steep as dieters lose weight, baseballs grow bigger 
       the better players hit, hills look less daunting if you're
       standing next to a close friend, and learning happens 
       faster when you can talk with your hands. Written with 
       journalist Drake Baer, Perception marries academic rigor 
       with mainstream accessibility. The research presented and 
       the personalities profiled will show what it means to not 
       only have, but be, your unique human body. The positive 
       ramifications of viewing ourselves from this embodied 
       perspective include greater athletic, academic, and 
       professional achievement, more nourishing relationships, 
       and greater personal well-being. The better we can 
       understand what our bodies are-what they excel at, what 
       they need, what they must avoid-the better we can live our
       lives"--|cProvided by publisher.
