Interesting enough. The biggest take would be that running can alleviate depression and anxiety, and in mild cases can be used as the sole treatment. However, the book goes into a lot of detail of the different mechanisms why and how running is efficient when treating mental illness. It also includes some personal experiences of runners, which I found brought some life to the book. I wouldn't take any numbers too seriously, since the book clearly doesn't consider complete beginners (it considers 20 mins a short run, while it's clear that a complete beginner will not be able to run that long). One of the most important advices the book gives, however, is that the best run is a run completed. No matter how short, it's still better than not running, and I completely agree. So go running and do it just for you, whatever that run looks like on any given day.
