Couldn’t stop listening to this. I love all things body science related so this was right up my street!

Thank you Profile Books Audio, Netgalley and Caroline Williams for the audio arc of Inner Sense.

When I listen to self help, non fiction books, I always wonder why I don't listen to more. Inner sense or Introspection is a term I have come across before so I found this book really interesting. To look inward with compassion and curiosity so we can connect both our body and mind isn't particularly new. There is plenty of research and talking therapies ( counselling ) bases a lot on that fact that we hold all the answers.
Inner sense helps explain in layman's terms what Introspection is and how we can bring the linkage of mind and body into our daily practices. Each chapter is well mapped out and flows extremely well. I found this book both insightful and helpful.

Caroline also does a great job with both her writing and narrating this book so I will be looking out for more books by her in the future.

4 stars

This book is fascinating. It has made me want to read further into the subject. It is very informative and makes sense when you read it. A worthwhile read.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This audiobook is a fascinating deep dive into Interoception, and how this remarkable sense can improve health outcomes and wellbeing.

The book starts off in a way I would describe as very ‘science-ey’ but one third in and I found it easier as a lay listener.

Covering topics including pain, aging and gut health it is really on point regarding current research - for anyone considered cold water immersion for example this book will tell you all you need to know!

A super smart read that packs a punch in terms of self-care!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

I approached this book without any prior knowledge, interest, or understanding of interoception, and now I'm utterly fascinated. If you're seeking ways to improve your health rooted in solid scientific research rather than fleeting fads, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It's well-structured and easy to grasp, even for those with limited scientific background. Fans of Tim Spector's work who are ready to delve beyond gut health will find this a compelling read.

Inner Sense by Caroline Williams is a fascinating dive into interoception—the body's inner awareness. Blending science and personal stories, Williams makes complex neuroscience accessible and relevant. While some sections are dense, the book is insightful and thought-provoking, offering practical takeaways for improving mental and physical well-being. A solid, engaging read.

This is very well written. The book explains scientific information in a relatable way, incorporating examples. It helped me have a deeper understanding of how much body works and some steps I could take to improve my health. I would recommend this for anybody who has an interest in physical and mental health.
