Reading this was timely for me. I read it as the orders for more and more poeple swept across the world to try to control spreading the Covid-19 virus. Our normal activities suspended until further notice. So I walk a lot to keep up with my normal daily movement. And reading this has justified my thoughts that walking for exercise and walking for contemplation is just as equally important.
I especially loved the chapters on "Thinking" and "Accompanying" (but didn't really enjoy the chapter on "Movement" as it felt more technical and the two other mentioned chapters were poetically and philosophical.
I will definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves walking for different reasons, and for those who see no point in walking for exercise or contemplation.
(And such a beautiful cover!)

As I like walking this book made me think about how walking can be a spiritual act and what it implies.
I liked it and will surely read it again because it's full of food for thought.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy of this book. All views are mine alone. I must admit that the cover is what brought me to the book. I have never read a book about walking. That being said it wasn't just about walking, there were parts about how we humans walk. How our anatomy works. That was what intrigued me. It was definitely not a book I usually read and I found many parts interesting. The author could tell a good story unlike my review. At this time with all the media coverage of horrible things it was a comfort to read this book. To walk and feel peace with nature and my surroundings. It reminded me of what is important. Anxiety levels go down health improves with walking!

A lovely book helping one reflect on life, decisions we make, opinions we thought we had and perhaps help us be more at peace with the world and ourselves.

A lovely book that really got me thinking. It's something that we don't do enough nowadays, and we should really take the time to do it.
