Hver dag går forfatter Anna Skyggebjerg en tur. 10.000 skridt, mindst. Ikke fordi hun ikke kan andet. Løbe, for eksempel. Men fordi det at gå tur er en aktivitet, der rækker langt ud over blot det at sætte den ene fod foran den anden. I sin gennemresearchede bog "Gå tur" formidler Skyggebjerg, hvordan gåturen ikke blot øger vores fysiske og psykiske velbefindende og styrker vores relationer, men i sin yderste konsekvens er en revolutionær praksis. Bogen trækker på såvel ældgammel filosofi som moderne forskning, kædet sammen af gribende beskrivelser af vigtige gåture i forfatterens eget liv.

With only a backpack of worldly possessions, the distance hiker is acutely aware of need over want. Long silent contemplation through woods allows him to reconnect with the Creator - shedding fears, doubts, and anxieties - while his ongoing physical efforts reduce his bodyweight and other chronic ailments and chemical dependencies. With this newfound freedom, he allows himself to be open and vulnerable with others. A supportive community forms among hikers who are experiencing the same freedom. Ramble On finds our physical and spiritual center while hiking the Appalachian Trail.
