In this "wonderful" (John Brandon, Forbes) book, neuroscientist
Shane O'Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers
on our bodies and brains, and to appreciate the advantages of this
uniquely human skill. From walking's evolutionary origins, traced
back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor, to new
findings from cutting-edge research, he reveals how the brain and
nervous system give us the ability to balance, weave through a
crowded city, and run our "inner GPS" system. Walking is good for
our muscles and posture;?it helps to protect and repair organs, and
can slow or turn back the aging of our brains. With our minds in
motion we think more creatively, our mood improves, and stress
levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a
social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species. As
our lives become increasingly sedentary, O'Mara makes the case that
we must start walking again-whether it's up a mountain, down to the
park,?or simply to school and work. In Praise of
Walking?illuminates the joys, health benefits, and mechanics of
walking, and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a
happier, healthier, more creative self.
