Mindful Walking

by Hugh O'Donovan

Six million years ago, the evolving human brain existed only to instruct our bodies to move. In Mindful Walking , psychologist Hugh O'Donovan takes us back to this very basic connection between the brain and the body, and looks at how, by focussing on the simple act of moving, we can achieve better emotional and physical health.

Uniting this concept of mindfulness in movement along with the three paths of change for a better life - walking, talking and meditation - this book shows us how we can better manage the distractions that clog our path to happiness, while also improving our physical well-being.

Including simple exercises on how to incorporate mindful walking into our everyday lives, Mindful Walking is for seasoned walkers, city amblers or people learning how to walk again after illness.

Take your first steps on the journey to physical health and mental happiness.

I felt I was probably reading something useful but I never quite connected with it. If it was trying to explain something - I didn't understand. If it was trying to motivate me - I didn't get the message. I almost want to read it again, to see what I missed. I feel there is something to this "mindfulness", but this book didn't give me the insight I was hoping for. Instead of re-reading - I will revert to the bibliography. I'm thankful for that.
