Critics Review

We were born to walk even more than to run, and, arguably, nothing is better for your health than regular walking. Read this informative book if you are trying to increase your step count and walk better! – Daniel Lieberman, author of Exercised
Amazing, I’ve read it back to front nearly twice… it makes you feel good today and it will help you live longer tomorrow – Chris Evans
Fascinating, a fantastic read… the whole book is a message of hope – Rangan Chatterjee
Interesting, thought-provoking, and practical... Walk is about much more than counting your steps — it’s about enriching your life – Adam Grant, author of Think Again
This book is a wake-up call in the best possible way. Courtney shows us that the foundation of our health, energy and longevity isn’t complicated, it just comes straight from our feet. Walk makes a compelling case that walking isn’t exercise, it’s essential, and she gives us practical steps to rebuild our foot strength back into our lives. If you want a longer, stronger, more joyful life, start here – Steven Bartlett, host, Diary of a CEO podcast
Modern health has forgotten something elemental: we are a bi-pedal walking species. This book restores walking to its rightful place not as exercise, but as a biological necessity. It reminds us that resilience, longevity, and agency begin at ground level, one step at a time – Galahad Clark, CEO & Co-Founder, Vivobarefoot
Praise for Courtney Conley * - *
[Courtney Conley] is extraordinarily skilled at researching the way our current behavior veers from our evolutionary past and she has the rare performative gift of translating those lessons into exciting, inspiring action plans – Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run
