“The humble act of putting one foot in front of the other transcends age, geography, culture and class, and is one of the most economical and environmentally responsible modes of transit.” Dan Rubinstein
In this episode we chat with Dan Rubinstein, author of Born to Walk: The Transformative Power of a Pedestrian Act. Dan speaks about the benefits and power of connecting with our own two feet and getting outside, on both land and water. His passion for movement has led him to a deeper understanding of the power of walking, importance of taking in our surroundings at a slower pace, and the impact of nature on our minds and bodies.
Through his more recent passion, Paddle-boarding, he has been able to experience his world, locally and internationally, exploring the different perspective that being out on the water gives us. He says, “Water is big, water is powerful, water is so much more than us, and being out in it you see yourself as one small part of a much larger thing. And that sense of perspective is incredibly grounding and helpful for framing yourself and your challenges in a deeper way.”
He says, the more we pay attention to walking and water will be good for our planet. We agreed, and can’t wait to share this episode with you.
Thanks for listening.
