A Philosophy of Walking

Well that was an interesting experiment. There are poetic  passages featuring the author's direct reflections on walking with which I could identify strongly. There were inclusions of certain philosophers and figures from history and their connection to walking that I found more or less informative. And then there were more spiritual leanings that had me gazing askance at the text, questioning the validity of their inclusion, as well as those prescriptive and proscriptive passages that felt like lectures on the proper way to walk, how to get the most benefit (verging into self help book territory) which had me rolling my eyes. What I found relatable or enlightening was too far outweighed by what I found redundant, heavy-handed or irrelevant. Can't recommend.
