Looking for the book that will motivate you to get up off the couch, get moving and keep moving? This is that book.

Hippocrates famously said: "Walking is man's best medicine," while Nietzsche rightly observed that "all truly great thoughts are conceived while walking." Decades of research have taught us that these two brilliant thinkers were right: those who walk regularly live longer, healthier, and happier lives. A regular walking practice can boost your mood, build your bones, power your weight loss, improve your memory, combat depression, fire up your creativity, lower stress, and literally add years to your life. Why Walk? unlocks that research and shares intimate stories from dozens of people who have transformed their lives and communities by putting one foot in front of the other.
