Description
Book Synopsis''Drawing on perceptive insight and profound wisdom, Jonathan Hoban reveals how the simple act of walking can displace our minds from a place of chaos to tranquil calm, and makes a beautiful and inspiring case for walking with your wolf.'' - Dr Mithu Storoni, author of Stress-Proof
Nature is our greatest healer.It''s time to start walking and reclaim the wildness in all of us.
When did you last take a walk? Not a stroll to the shops, or to the pub, but a walk that got you energised, stimulated your senses, allowing you to de-stress? If the answer is that you''d love to walk, but don''t have the time, there really are more reasons to get outside than you might think.
When we walk we find the space to process our feelings and we begin to have the courage to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. Walking awakens the intuition that helps us face up to our difficulties and walk alongside them, enabling us to find positive solutions to ou
Trade Review
Jonathan Hoban challenges us to use nature as a setting for reconsidering our lives and our stresses. He asks us to 'walk alongside our difficulties' giving ourselves the physical and mental space to look at ourselves anew and to decide what we really need. For that commute to work, or indeed for that break on the park bench, I commend his book.
Combining therapy with nature and activity isn't new. In the late 1900s, Sigmund Freud walked with certain of his patients around the Ringstrasse, Vienna's grand, tree-lined boulevard. But what if you have no therapist or kindred spirit to accompany you? Jonathan Hoban's original, inspiring and powerful book fills the gap. Deftly blending science, his own narrative and his experience as a therapist, he is at our side as we find a way of engaging with and being healed by nature. Like the wolf in the book's title, we can reconnect with our own elemental lupine instincts which are so often repressed in our stressful and artificial world - both a wolf's wildness as well as its sociability and need to be part of a pack. Follow in Hoban's easy to apply footsteps and you will never walk alone again.
