A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros has received praise for its clear and beautiful writing, and its passionate affirmation of the simple life. The book thoughtfully intersperses poignant life stories of famous walkers with Gros's own meditations, urging readers to embrace walking for its creative inspiration and mental freedom. It's an elegantly written work that inspires and delights, encouraging even the most sedentary to get up and walk.
