WALKING One Step At a Time

Norwegian explorer, lawyer, art collector, publisher, and author Erling Kagge's meditation on walking is complemented by Icelandic-Norwegian narrator Atli Gunnarsson's authentic accent. At an unhurried pace mirroring Kagge's overarching message to slow down, Gunnarsson deliberately and self-assuredly makes the journey through the text. Kagge begins with a rumination on walking at different stages of life and at different points in history, and includes a discussion of the first people's long migrations on foot to new territories. He emphasizes that, in this day and age, taking time to experience the world around us through slowing down and walking is a radical act.
