Walking

AN ODE TO WALKING FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING EXPLORERS AND THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SILENCE

Erling Kagge is a philosophical adventurer - or perhaps an adventurous philosopher' New York Times

'After having put my shoes on and let my thoughts wander, I am sure of one thing - to put one foot in front of the other is one of the most important things we do.'

From those perilous first steps as a toddler, to great expeditions, from walking to work to trekking to the North Pole, Erling Kagge explains that he who walks goes further and lives better. Walking is a book about the love of exploration, the delight of discovery and the equilibrium that can be found in this most simple of activities.

'If you are a walker this book will resonate with you, if you have seldom or never walked this book should be compulsory reading' Rosamund Young

'A thought-proving and enjoyable book that revels in seeing the global in the local. Erling Kagge reveals new ways to view home and homo sapiens, and, as he travels leisurely, we grow slowly wiser' Tristan Gooley

'Part rumination, part walking coach and companion . . . and one that might just do more for your health and happiness than your treadmill alone ever could' New York Journal of Books'A thoughtful book-length essay on a taken-for-granted human activity' Kirkus'[Walking is] much more subtle than a typical self-help . . .

Erling Kagge uses his acquaintance with extreme environments to reflect on the mental and physical benefits of walking' Economist

O ODA PENTRU PACARIREA DE LA UNUL DIN EXPLORATORII PRINCIPATI A LUMII SI A AUTORULUI BEST VINDUT AL SILENTIEI Erling Kagge este un aventurier filozofic - sau poate un filozof aventuros „New York Times” Dupa ce mi-am pus pantofii si mi-am lasat gandurile sa rataceasca, sunt sigur un lucru - a pune un picior in fata celuilalt este unul dintre cele mai importante lucruri pe care le facem. ' De la acei primejdiosi pasi periculosi ca un copil mic, pana la expeditii extraordinare, de la mersul pe jos la munca pana la drumetii catre Polul Nord, Erling Kagge explica faptul ca cel care merge merge mai departe si traieste mai bine.
