Walk: Slow Down, Wake Up, and Connect at 1-3 Miles per Hour

This book is a transformative collection of essays exploring the power of walking to connect with oneself, others, and nature.

In 2010, author Jonathon Stalls and his dog embarked on a 242-day cross-country journey, relying on each other and strangers’ kindness. This collection delves into walking as awakening: how a journey through West Virginia’s farms and Nevada’s High desert unlocked personal connections and new avenues for renewal.

While most won’t walk across the country, Stalls’ experiences with people, land, and animals offer profound insights. He shares how walking deepened his self-awareness as a gay man, providing emotional healing. He confronts systemic racism, classism, and ableism, inviting readers to become awakened activists and heal our culture’s separation from nature.
