One morning in 2011, Libby DeLana stepped outside her New England home for a walk. She did the same thing the next day, and the next. It became a daily habit that has culminated in her walking over 25,000 miles – the equivalent of the earth’s circumference. In Do Walk, Libby shares the transformative nature of this simple yet powerful practice. She reveals how walking each day provides the time and space to reconnect with the world around us; process thoughts; improve our physical wellbeing; and unlock creativity. It is the ultimate navigational tool that helps us to see who we are - beyond titles and labels, and where we want to go. With stunning photography, this inspiring and reflective guide is an invitation to step outside, and see where the path takes us.

'A moving and wise book that powerfully conveys a simple truth: that putting one foot in front of the other is a transformative act. DeLana writes with insight, heart, and wit about love, loss, work, creativity, and the mysteries of being human.’ – Cheryl Strayed, international bestselling author of Wild

‘Do Walk is a refreshing reminder that daily exercise isn't so much about sweat and exertion as it is about commitment and exploration of nature and of self. DeLana's evocative prose allows us to walk next to her. This book helped me examine parts of my life but, more than anything, it made me want to lace up and head outside in search for a new path of my own.’ – Charlie Engle, endurance runner and author

‘Who knew that a daily walk could be a transformational experience? Libby DeLana shares her inspiring stories and best practice in this special book. So much of the wisdom in Do Walk has stayed with me long after finishing it.’ – Cheryl Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of Take Time for Your Life
