My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Penguin Group Putnam for an advanced copy of this book on the walking lifestyle. This would be a great book for a new walker who needs motivation to get going or for someone who just wants to up their walking game. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.

Streets (gotta smile a little about her name) lays out the reasons to walk in the morning, in the even, in the rain, uphill and so on. Of course I’ve always walked for the sheer pleasure of being outside and enjoying nature, but I did enjoy the insight as to what scientists find happens to the body when we walk. This book pleasantly surprised me -- short chapters, each focused on a different way to walk (after meals, in forests, at night, etc.

I listened to the audiobook (yes, while walking), and once finished, I promptly got the kindle version to reference more easily and a hardcover version shipped off to my mother. I ramble/walk often and am currently completing the London Outer Orbital Pathway (LOOP), over 150 miles of walking (split into 24 sections) encircling London through its green belt. I recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their daily walks or to start walking more than they currently do. After reading this book, I’ll probably walk in the rain more, walk more errands, and walk while listening to the soundscape.

A delightfully original love letter to an activity humans were designed to do throughout the course of each day. There is a lot to motivate and invigorate a person, to maybe move from the couch to at least the end of the driveway, or block. I really liked it, and I'm already thinking quite a lot about all the different things you can get out of a walk. s obzirom na sumanutu kilometražu koju svakodnevno prolazim hodajući, nadala sam se da će mi ovaj priručnik unijeti dašak svježine dok, eto, prolazim manje-više istim rutama i na to trošim (ili, ako obrneš: ulažem) sate i sate. Annabel Streets delves into the science and romanticism of walking and explores the good things that can happen with this one small act.You definitely have to adjust the day to allow for the increased travel time, but once I made the trip I wondered why I hadn't done so before. I read this through and decided to start the walking year in January of 2023 since the weeks approximately follow the year weather-wise.

this one focuses on the different ways you can incorporate more walking to your life and why you should.

In November 2017 the people of Zimbabwe took to the streets in an unprecedented alliance with the military.
