An ode to the life-changing magic of the simple act of walking. ‘i’ve discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. but i would argue that all i am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. i solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement.’ – kate humble thinking on my feet tells the story of kate’s walking year – shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. kate’s inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout – capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows – and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. as she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, kate’s reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action. also featured are kate’s walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other – the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer. this book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours.
