Publisher Description ** SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**** SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARD - TRAVEL MEMOIR OF THE YEAR **A beautiful and magnificent book. A paean to a simple act. I defy you to read this book and not be inspired to walk, march or hike - and as a result live a better life more connected with nature and the world around you. - Simon ReeveA lovely book, fast-flowing yet at every turn giving the reader pause for thought. Kate Humble makes a delightful companion, her words full of sunshine and the raw pleasure she radiates as she encounters life in its many unexpected forms. - Benedict AllenA lovely, civilised and transporting read, that should have all of us stepping out to meet the world with fresh eyes. - Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallAn enticing read that makes every walk Humble describes an adventure - Ranulph FiennesIve discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. But I would argue that all I am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. Humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. I solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement. - Kate HumbleThinking on My Feet tells the story of Kates walking year - shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kates inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout - capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows - and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kates reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action.Also featured are Kates walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other - the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in Wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer.This book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours. *PRAISE FOR THINKING ON MY FEET * A diary of sorts, charting a year of wonderful walks through the sun, wind and rain...each entry builds an image of her life in the great out Author Biography Kate Humble is a broadcaster and author of five books, including Thinking On My Feet, A Year of Living Simply and Home Cooked.
