Being aware of your surroundings ­

Great little book it made a great gift!

A compact introduction to mindful walking

M.B. · November 7, 2020

The author of this book is an Anglican minster. Who seems to put too much emphasis on an intellectual view of Buddhism and other eastern philosophies rather than the experience of nature. There are some good ideas but is judgemental towards mountaineers. He would have been better of reading 'The Spirit of the Hills' before giving his internal frame of reference.
