Description

'For months Jono Lineen walked, up to twenty-five miles a day, with nothing but his thoughts and the massively beautiful Himalayas all around him. He couldn't escape either of them. Eventually he had a breakthrough. He wasn't there to test himself, he was there to fix himself.'Arnold Schwarzenegger, author of Be Useful- Seven Tools for LifeAfter the tragic loss of his younger brother, Jono Lineen experienced walking's regenerative power firsthand. Grief-stricken and adrift, he set off on a 2700-kilometre solo trek across the Himalayas. He walked for months until his legs ached and feet blistered, and by the end of the expedition something had changed in him. He was stronger - not just physically, but psychologically and emotionally.What had happened? What had given him this feeling of peace; joy even? Determined to find out, he began investigating the science and history of walking and running, and discovered that there were fascinating reasons for his metamorphosis. Now, weaving together his own remarkable personal stories with research, Lineen reveals for the first time the powerful effect that even the shortest strolls can have on us. And why walking is what we're made to do; it is our perfect motion.
