This is a book about the "energy secret" of walking, and it is also a healing book that teaches you to regulate yourself through walking. Jonathan, who has lost a loved one and is deeply depressed and addicted; Beverly, who works 13 hours a day and is anxious; Frances, who cannot accept the death of his best friend and dare not face the pain; Matt, whose relationship with his lover has broken down and has fallen into depression. Jonathan Hoban, the founder and psychotherapist of walking therapy, "moves" the psychological consultation room into nature, uses walking therapy to heal himself, and also gives the client a new life.

Walking will bring you countless happiness. When walking in the rain, you can feel connected to nature. He doesn't care if he gets wet, or the sting of the wind on his face. Witnessing a special moment in nature, catching a glimpse of a deer, or a rare bird. On a walk I met someone with whom I shared the experience of being outside and was warmed by their smile and manner. Nature provides spiritual support and a place to stand. You will feel that "this is my own time now. I want to manage and use this time and let it pass for me." You will be in a quiet and peaceful environment, and you can start aimless thought activities and filter out those purposeful thoughts.

As a society, we are experiencing a full-blown attack of stress, anxiety and depression. We often feel that we have neither the space nor the time to relax, release, or even simply "be ourselves." This makes us feel anxious and our bodies are constantly in a state of tension. The solution the author of this book offers us is to go for a walk. Take a long walk in the park to get your body and mind moving, allow yourself to decompress, see what matters most, and listen to yourself in the face of life's tough moments and challenges.
The author begins by writing about the opportunity for him to discover "walking therapy". A closed environment often does not make patients who come for consultation feel better, but will hinder the progress of consultation. Therefore, he proposed a location close to nature based on his own experience, and thus began his "walking therapy". In modern society, people's living space is constantly being compressed, and there are fewer and fewer places where they can calm down and maintain themselves. Therefore, more and more anxious emotions are accumulating in the hearts of modern people. The author therefore wrote books to tell people that they can get closer to nature and discover some small corners in daily life: parks, suburbs, and botanical gardens, and find inner peace through slow walking.
It is said that the number of miles a person walks in a day in the information age is less than the number of steps a person takes to cook a sumptuous dinner in the industrial age. People seem to have forgotten themselves. Walking upright is the dividing line of human progress, and the basic function of walking was born. People have forgotten that they originally lived in the wild and used all kinds of trees, stones and soil in nature. Now they live in reinforced concrete buildings and never see the light of day. Walking has become a luxury, being so disconnected from nature and unable to release people. People suffer from various diseases, such as back pain, cervical spondylosis, obesity, osteoporosis, etc. According to the law of attraction, if you like sunshine, you will be filled with sunshine; if you like darkness, you will be filled with darkness. There are many reasons why we don't go out, but the core is you. You yourself cannot understand the healing of walking, the benefits and significance of walking, and the positive impact on the body and mind. The author of this book combines practical work experience to integrate rational emotive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and then creates a unique "walking therapy" that is praised in the industry. He is prudent and imaginative. He is the first to combine nature walks with psychotherapy, incorporating a series of highly effective treatment models such as mindfulness meditation, creative strategies, and pragmatic suggestions. He has achieved amazing and significant results in psychological treatments such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger management, stress management, crisis management, and trauma treatment. As the subtitle of this book says, "Release pain and regain confidence, courage and strength while walking."
This book is very good. It uses walking therapy as its core and shows the healing power of nature on people through real cases. For example, the book mentions that "Nature is the 'Mother of All Powers' in my heart." This sentence vividly expresses the tolerance and giving of nature. The characters in the story are also impressive, like Victoria, whose experiences give us a deeper understanding of stress and anxiety. All in all, this is an inspiring and courageous book.
As a society, we are experiencing a full-blown attack of stress, anxiety and depression. If you know anything about this, it's because you've been affected by it or you know someone who has been. You feel like you have neither the space nor the time to relax, release, or even simply "be yourself." Your phone keeps ringing. You seem to have endless emails to reply to. You work in a tense environment where everyone is high on caffeine. There is never a moment when you are free, and there is never a minute when your "work performance" is not evaluated and monitored. The pressure is exerted on you continuously and mercilessly.
Read this book and learn to heal yourself through walking with the author.
Taking walking therapy as an example, it tells how to improve people's mental state, and puts forward some suggestions on walking methods and walking diaries.
