In his memoir, Craig Mod explores the profound impact of walking on both personal growth and self-awareness. Set against the backdrop of his long walks through Japan, Mod reflects on how simply moving through space can transform one's perspective. He discusses the innate human impulse to walk, often lost in adulthood. By documenting his thirty to forty-day walking plan, he seeks to rediscover purpose and push beyond the confines of a shrinking world, aiming for a deeper connection with both the external environment and his internal self.
"The walking planâa journey of thirty to forty daysâwas less about escaping something, and more about reconnecting with a simple impulse to traverse the known world."
"In a world that seems to shrink as we grow older, walking offers an antidote to feelings of restriction, allowing us to expand what we know and experience anew."
