On the Happiness of Hiking

Hiking means: escaping from daily life, taking a step back, experiencing nature, strengthening body and soul, and in doing so promoting good health. But hiking is more than that says philosophy coach Albert Kitzler. Hiking is a reflection of life – it is about starting out and letting go, climbing up and descending, periods of drought and the lifting feeling of having reached the destination. Therefore, hiking is naturally linked to philosophy. This book on the joy of hiking is as entertaining as it is inspiring. Albert Kitzler invites you to think about hiking and life, and taps into the quiet power inherent in both of them.
