Really good reads
I love reading. Lots of us at Heights do. And even when I dont have time to curl up with a book, I listen to them. (Yes, that counts. Dont be like that.)
Its fun. Its interesting. It feeds my curiosity. And yes, you guessed it, its good for the brain. Weve mentioned it before, but this is neuroplasticity in action. Its a scientific term, true, But its just the brain creating, repairing, and reorganising the neural pathways and connections between cells. Becoming more flexible, if you like.
From emotional and psychological functions to the physical processes your brain controls, neuroplasticity helps your brain work smoothly.
And if you need a bit of reading inspiration, I asked the team for what theyve been hooked on recently. This is what they recommend:
Ghosts by Dolly Alderton
After falling in love with Dollys wit in Everything I Know About Love, Im loving her debut novel.
- Julz, Head of Product & CX
How to Murder Your Family by Bella Mackie
Dark and funny novel written first hand by an anti-hero as we follow her schemes to kill her entire family.
- Hayley, Social Media & Community Manager
Conversations on Love by Natasha Lunn

When it comes to neuroplasticity, Im no expert. But Dr Tara Swart, who helped us make the Smart Supplement, is. So we asked her to spill the beans.

On a personal note
Im reading a great book tooOutlive by Peter Attia. Im a big fan of self-help, business, and health (surprise surprise), so this is perfect.
Self-help books are all sort of the same. Amazing stories, brilliant teachers and the final summarychoose long term over short. Easier said than done.
Business books are more tactical. There are new challenges at every step of the way, and we need to know the answers. Technology might change but problems are still the same.
But health books are slightly different. Science changes with the times, so I like to read the latest health books. New ideas, new thoughts, and new expert opinions to consider.
For example, a small change inspired by Outlive is in the gym. More weights, less cardio (and Im eating more protein too). Ive never cared much about my physique, but I care deeply about living longer, so I can be with my daughter as long as possible. So Im on the protein powder. Lucky me.
With love,
Dan
P.S. Peter Attia himself used to think live bacteria were a fad. Now hes done a U-turn, and says theyre essential, but a quality supplement matters. Wonder where you might find one of those
