Read, Play, Train: 3 Resolutions and 36 Gift Ideas (books/ board games/ exercise tools) for a Happier & Healthier 2021

Dear reader,

As we start to celebrate the Holidays and welcome a much needed New Year, I asked our team and trusted advisors to compile a list of gift (and self-gift) ideas to help us stay sane and healthy in the months ahead, prioritizing three habits which have been shown to promote brain health, resilience and positive neuroplasticity:

Read: Here’s a selection of 12 fascinating books to add healthy novelty, variety and challenge to our reading lives — and therefore to our brains and minds

Play: Here are 12 creative and (mostly) collaborative board games. A peaceful upgrade from the classic Monopoly and Risk … we know you know what we mean

Train: A selection of the equipment we have relied on the most to stay fit, resilient and purposeful this year

For each and every suggestion, at least one colleague has tried it and truly loved it; and we have verified they have many and very positive reviews.

Happy & Healthy Holidays; Happy & Healthy New Year!
