## Description

A Philosophy of Walking : Frederic Gros: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Beautiful, Inspiring, Transformative Reading. - This beautiful, gentle, inspiring book is an almost perfect treasure. In part, an exploration of some great thinkers and creators, and the link between their inspiration and the physical act of walking, in part, a journey in itself into what happens to us, physically, spiritually, emotionaly, when we walk on the earth. One or two of the case studies of the thinkers I found the link between walking and their work a little tenuous, though none the less fascinating for that. For most, the references, insights and quotations are profound. As a walker, and as someone who works creatively with the act and art of walking, I found this book essential and transformative reading, written with a lightness of touch that belies its depth - a bit like the gentle act of walking itself. Whatever your interest in walking, read this book. I feel its insights have been essential in restoring my relationship with the earth which I gently walk on, and with myself as a human, the walking animal. I recommend reading it with a pencil to hand, in the open air.
Review: Amazing book! Easy to read and that you will ... - Amazing book! Easy to read and that you will remember often when you walk, specially the chapter about walking and well-being :)

Amazing book! Easy to read and that you will remember often when you walk, specially the chapter about walking and well-being :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walking with the brain in gear
*by T***N on 25 August 2014*

For anyone into walking, this is a most excellent book. Apart from the physical benefits, it highlights the many and varied metaphysical benefits/interpretations we enjoy edwhen we lose ourselves in thought, particularly when walking by ourselves. Highly recommend!
