Synopsis

Getting lost and feeling found...

'I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.' - John Muir, John of the Mountains

Walking is medicine for the mind. It helps us slow down and think things through. It also helps us perk up and generate new ideas. There are few activities as readily available and revitalizing as a brisk walk, or as soothing and stimulating as a long walk. Wonderful things can happen when we set out on two feet.

Within these pages, you will find stories from artists, designers, writers, psychologists and speakers who are inspired by the effect of pacing outdoors. You will hear of walks in the city, hikes through woods at dawn and epic adventures involving long journeys on foot. No matter the scale of the tale, the writer offers lessons they learned of a simple, human nature that we can all understand.

In each chapter you will discover suggestions and ideas about how to create simple daily habits from the writer's thinking. In a world where so much of the noise around us suggests we are not good enough as we are, and that we must seek to change, these accounts try to do something different. They aim instead to invite a stroll into the complex pathways of the mind to discover the beauty of our own quirky individuality.

Great story, exciting, characters you care about What else can you ask of a story except it be well told, exciting, with characters you care about? This one has all that and more.

Rain... Not a bad yarn. Lots of truths here. Always looking for new ideas. Characters would be a little more believable if a couple years older.......more

Goodreads review by Eila on July 08, 2015

I loved this book. And as I often do when I enjoy a book, I read the one-star reviews out of curiosity. I had to laugh because some of these reviews claim it is too filled with gun information. Maybe I read too many books that involve detailed descriptions of guns, but I found the author's explanati......more
