About this listen

 'I've 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 Humble

Thinking on My Feet is an inspiring journal of walks divided into seasonal sections. Discover the joys and benefits of walking, encounters with the natural and urban world, with the familiar and strange, with animals, people and events. Kate charts her feelings and impressions throughout, capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows. Find out what makes you curious, what makes something memorable.

Also included are Kate's walks with other people who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot infront 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.

A beautiful uplifting book. Kate's descriptions of the countryside and folk she had met along the way made me feel as if I were walking with her and the dog. It has inspired me to get out and about more often.

... I just wished it hadn't ended.

Lines like 'the Holly is having its time (or moment? Can' t remember which) has been with me on every dog walk this week as I weave through a forest of it... My brother told me it made him emotional listening to this, and I agree 100% - I was on the brink of tears regularly and, being a country girl and new to London myself, I can completely relate with the need for solitude and to ground myself to my environment before I can't start to make sense of it. Wonderful wonderful book - and my first audio book.

Absolutely loved every minute
