Video trailer for Born to Walk (my first book)

Description of Born to Walk from publisher ECW Press:

“The humble act of putting one foot in front of the other transcends age, geography, culture, and class, and is one of the most economical and environmentally responsible modes of transit. Yet with our modern fixation on speed, this healthy pedestrian activity has been largely left behind. At a personal and professional crossroads, writer, editor, and obsessive walker Dan Rubinstein travelled throughout the U.S., U.K., and Canada to walk with people who saw the act not only as a form of transportation and recreation, but also as a path to a better world. There are no magic-bullet solutions to modern epidemics like obesity, anxiety, alienation, and climate change. But what if there is a simple way to take a step in the right direction? Combining fascinating reportage, eye-opening research, and Rubinstein’s own discoveries, Born to Walk explores how far this ancient habit can take us, how much repair is within range, and guarantees that you’ll never again take walking for granted.”

  1. Is that Rory Stewart, who walked 6000 miles across Asia in 2002, at 0:50? Loved his memoir The Places in Between. I just bought Born to Walk today and am looking forward to starting it this evening. Some of my favourite places to walk are here in Scarborough.
