Book description
A guided journal for walkers who want to expand their physical and creative worlds through acts of mindfulness. SILVER MEDAL WINNER OF THE NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD - "Beautifully designed . . . I'd like to give a copy of this smart, fetching book to everyone I know."--Susannah Felts, BookPage Afoot and Lighthearted will teach readers how to harness the power of walking to cultivate and nourish attention, inspiration, and determination, as well as to combat distraction, anxiety, and the dreaded creative block. Organized around thematic prompts designed to help makers take a break from digital life and tap into the transformational magic of creative journaling, Afoot and Lighthearted introduces us to innovative walkers throughout literature, art, philosophy, and history, and it offers encouragement in the form of inspirational quotes. Supported by light illustrations and evidence from recent research on the compelling connection between walking and well-being, Afoot and Lighthearted offers a fresh perspective every step of the way, much like a walk itself.
