Walking in the Rain | Free Book
Getting lost and feeling found...
'I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out
till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.'
-
John Muir, John of the Mountains
Walking is medicine for the mind. It helps us slow down and think
things through. It also helps us perk up and generate new ideas.
There are few activities as readily available and revitalizing as a
brisk walk, or as soothing and stimulating as a long walk. Wonderful
things can happen when we set out on two feet.
Within
these pages, you will find stories from artists, designers, writers,
psychologists and speakers who are inspired by the effect of pacing
outdoors. You will hear of walks in the city, hikes through woods at
dawn and epic adventures involving long journeys on foot. No matter
the scale of the tale, the writer offers lessons they learned of a
simple, human nature that we can all understand.
In each
chapter you will discover suggestions and ideas about how to create
simple daily habits from the writer's thinking. In a world where so
much of the noise around us suggests we are not good enough as we
are, and that we must seek to change, these accounts try to do
something different. They aim instead to invite a stroll into the
complex pathways of the mind to discover the beauty of our own
quirky individuality.
About the Author
Department Store for the Mind is the exciting new creative venture by
Sophie Howarth, co-founder of the School of Life. It is a place to
explore the world inside your head: a vast and unique terrain of
thoughts, ideas, emotions and memories.
Each book offers
stories and ideas about creating daily habits that are kind to the
mind, whether through our connection with nature, our creativity or
everyday tasks, or simply knowing and feeling more accepting of
ourselves. The books stretch the mind and soul, so that we may colour
outside of the lines, experience the moments of wonder that are right
there in front of us and occasionally venture out of our safe
harbours.
