OHNY Stacks: In Praise of Walking

In a time of isolation, sitting inside and avoiding the streets, we are alienated from one of the most important activities for our wellness: walking.

In Praise of Walking by Shane O’Mara explicates how transformative walking is for our bodies, how it grows brain cells, works our muscles, spurs our creative minds, and brings joy. As we walk, we gain the ability to balance, weave through a crowded city, and run our “inner GPS” system. In Praise of Walking proves that walkability is more than just a metric, it is crucial to making a healthier city.
