In this “wonderful” (John Brandon, <em>Forbes</em>) book, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers on our bodies and brains, and to appreciate the advantages of this uniquely human skill. O’Mara traces walking’s evolutionary origins to life forms on the ocean floor, reveals new findings from cutting-edge research, and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a happier, healthier, more creative self.
