The Psychological Benefits of Exercise — James Young

In Athens airport a man waits for his marriage to end, while a struggling writer seeks solitude and self-discovery on a Greek island. In Brazil, a young girl plots revenge on the man who has betrayed her, while in the title story, a girl finds that love can exist in the most unlikely of places.

Across journeys both short and long, the characters in these fourteen stories learn how to live with loss and loneliness through humour, pain and reflection. The Psychological Benefits Of Exercise is James Armour Young's first collection of stories.
