Kelly McGonigal and Jane McGonigal: Harnessing the Power of Movement for Mental Health

Jun 28, 2020

Join powerhouse identical twin sisters Kelly McGonigal and Jane McGonigal for a dynamic conversation about building strength, happiness and health right now.

Kelly McGonigal, bestselling author of the books The Willpower Instinct, The Upside of Stress, and The Joy of Movement, draws on neuroscience and psychology to reveal movement’s capacity as an antidote to depression, anxiety and loneliness. She’ll provide practical advice on how to harness the power of movement to create happiness, meaning and connection during the pandemic.

Jane McGonigal—a game designer who strongly believes that games and technology can help channel positive energy and thus improve our lives—is the author of SuperBetter, an innovative guide to living gamefully, based on the program that has already helped nearly half a million people achieve remarkable personal growth.
