Walking by Erling Kagge
A renowned explorer and acclaimed author shows us that walking is a natural accompaniment to creativity--and among the most radical things we can do. Simple, profound ... compelling ... a book that] packs a surprisingly motivational punch (GQ). Why do we walk?Where do we walk from?
What is our destination? Placing one foot in front of the other and embarking on the journey of discovery are activities intrinsic to our nature. But as universal as walking is, each of us will experience it differently. For renowned explorer Erling Kagge, walking is a natural accompaniment to creativity: the occasion for the unspoken dialogue of thinking. Walking is also the antidote to the speed at which we conduct our lives, to our insistence on rushing, on doing everything in a precipitous manner.
