Interesting audio book. Not really my type of book but nice to listen to something new.

Beautiful. Erling Kagge strikes the perfect balance between poetry, anecdotes, and informative tone. I need a physical copy of this so I can underline every other sentence!
“All my walks have been different, but looking back I see one common denominator: inner silence. Walking and silence belong together. Silence is as abstract as walking is concrete.”
“Your feet are your best friends. They tell you who you are.”
“Walking made it possible for us to become who we are, so if we hardly ever walk, we may become something else.”
There is one more quote about walking and time near the beginning that really resonated with me but I was in the shower at the time and tried so hard to remember it. It was short, simple, and covers the whole book in a couple sentences.

Nice little book of reflections on walking and how it clears the mind + connects us with nature :)

As a person who enjoys a good hike, to experience the depths of the woods, the heights of hills, and the cleansing of a humid sweat, Kagge has hit upon a quality in walking to which I aspire. That is, a more profound sensual experience in stretching one’s legs. Since starting this book, I’ve started taking the stairs more often, set out on walks, and I’ve also been more intentional about sensing the world around me. In that regard, this book has slowly been saving my sanity and my health. It isn’t a perfect book, but it’s quite good.
