“If you are a walker this book will resonate with you, if you have seldom or never walked this book should be compulsory reading.” —Rosamund Young
“A thought-proving and enjoyable book that revels in seeing the global in the local. Erling Kagge reveals new ways to view home and homo sapiens, and, as he travels leisurely, we grow slowly wiser.” —Tristan Gooley
“Erling Kagge is a philosophical adventurer – or perhaps an adventurous philosopher.” —The New York Times
