About
"You wouldn't think that you need experts to tell you if and how walking is good for you, but we were surprised at how full of contemplative practices and vision these 200 pages were."
- A Spirituality & Practice Best Spiritual Book of 2024
Walking is good for you. It can regulate weight, improve sleep, elevate mood, transform stress, and boost creativity. Most people want to walk more. But what if the key isn't just to walk more, but to walk better? Walking Well presents a three-part journey that will guide you to discover more comfort, vitality, and inspiration in every step. Filled with simple, practical guidance from authors with over a hundred years of collective experience in teaching people how to move well, this book not only improves how we walk but reveals how much is possible for us once we know how to walk well.
"Can walking to your yoga class benefit you as much as the class itself? Michael J. Gelb and Bruce Fertman answer with an emphatic YES! In Walking Well they deliver a cornucopia of surprisingly effective, immediately applicable, practical wisdom. This original, compelling, and creative book will show you how to make every step more comfortable, energizing, and inspiring."
- Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Modern Elder Academy
"Filled with wisdom, Walking Well is a guide to walking with greater presence, grace, and resilience.

This has improved my confidence and balance while offering me a pathway to more robust health. I especially love the animal imagery - so vivid and practical. A huge thank-you to the authors."
