Summary
A memoir of one family’s journey along the Camino de Santiago, illuminating the science, history, and enduring human instinct behind long-distance walking—and why it has the power to change us.
When Lauren Duke sets out to walk the Camino de Santiago with her family, she is searching for a connection that has always felt just beyond reach. Years of unspoken trauma have shaped the patterns between them—but as the miles unfold, she begins to wonder whether those patterns can change.

Critics Review
“This book will change you! Lauren Duke captures something science is only starting to confirm: long walks don’t just strengthen the body—they’re medicine for the mind and soul, and a part of humanity we’ve lost. This Walk Will Change You made me take more long walks with the people I love, and we’re better for it.” – Micheal Easter, New York Times Bestselling author of The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain
“This Walk Will Change You is a potent reminder that sometimes the way forward begins by putting one foot in front of the other. With vulnerability, humor, and a deep understanding of the body’s capacity to heal, Lauren Duke invites us into a story of movement, family, resilience, and repair. This book shows us that we do not have to leave our stories behind in order to change. We can learn to move with them, walk alongside one another, and discover who we might become along the way.” – Arielle Schwartz, PhD, Psychologist, Award Winning Author, Founder of the Center for Resilience Informed Therapy
