"Placing one foot in front of the other, embarking on the journey of discovery, and experiencing the joy of exploration--these activities are intrinsic to our nature. Our ancestors traveled long distances on foot, gaining new experiences and learning from them. But as universal as walking is, each of us will experience it differently. For Erling Kagge, it is the gateway to the questions that fascinate him--Why do we walk? Where do we walk from? What is our destination?--and in this book he invites us to investigate them along with him. Language reflects the idea that life is one single walk; the word "journey" comes from the distance we travel in the course of a day. Walking for Kagge is a natural accompaniment to creativity: the occasion for the unspoken dialogue of thinking. Walking is also the antidote to the speed at which we conduct our lives, to our insistence on rushing, on doing everything in a precipitous manner--walking is among the most radical things we can do." -- Front flap.… (mere)

Erling Kagge has written a wonderful book on walking. Most of us don't walk enough. Indians walk less than Americans and Europeans, and our laziness shows up in our poor health outcomes. Gym work and 'going for a walk' alleviate some problems, but don't do enough.
Walking is not just physical exercise: deep philosophy exists in walking. When you walk in silence, you notice your physical surroundings. Erling Kagge does not pretend to be a saint or perfect, and this attitude lifts the book above the mundane. ( )

2020 has been a year of isolation, and Kagge has a guide for being alone on your feet. ( )

Tras el éxito internacional El silencio en la era del ruido, Erling Kagge nos deleita con un libro sobre el placer de caminar.Libros querespiran ytehacenrespirar.[return][return]«Casi todos los problemas parecen distintos después de un paseo.»[return][return]Al caminar, con o sin rumbo, nuestro cuerpo viaja a la velocidad de nuestra mente. Solo cuando damos un paso tras otro podemos descubrir la tierra que pisamos, y a nosotros mismos. La capacidad de andar erguidos nos convirtió en lo que somos, y al dejar de caminar abandonamos también nuestra esencia, nos convertimos en otra cosa.[return][return]Este libro, una agradable caminata en excelente compañía, nos recuerda la alegría de las caminatas, breves o largas, y nos convence de que quien va a pie llega más lejos y vive mejor. En el camino, nuestros pasos se cruzan con figuras como Machado, Heidegger, Thoreau, Neruda o Steve Jobs.[return][return]Erling Kagge, el autor que nos enseñó a encontrar el silencio en este estruendoso mundo, vuelve con un evocador libro sobre el placer y el equilibrio que se pueden encontrar en tan simple actividad.

Walking is travel at a speed that humans are comfortable with, you can take everything in as you pass by. The act of us walking on two feet, upright and able to observe what is around us is a movement that is millennia old. We as a species though are not walking as much as we used to, the modern transport options are so easy and we lose that sense of time.

The ability to walk, to put one foot in front of the other, invented us.

Erling Kagge has loved walking for as long as he can remember, when he was growing up in Norway his parents did not own a car so he had to walk. He walked to the North Pole in his mid-twenties and then walked to the South Pole, solo. Now in charge of a publishing house, he still walks when he can and wherever he happens to be. For him it is the best way to discover a place, find what makes it tick and to feel the pulse of it.

I learned that the spiritual was the opposite of the material, but in the woods these two are not opposites – they are equals. To walk reflects this.

Walking not only helps our physical health, but can benefit our mind too. Research has shown that time spent away from a screen, regardless if it is a walk along city streets or heading up over a moor works wonders for your mind too. This is a good companion volume to his other book on silence. Both are small acts of defiance against the fast-paced, relentless and loud world. I really enjoyed this too. I really like his sparse writing style and philosophical outlook on life. Stunning cover too. Well worth reading. ( )
