“Why Walking Helps Us Think”

Reading 1 Minute

I saw a link to this article by Ferris Jabr on Facebook this morning. It’s a summary of the connection between thinking and walking, using experimental evidence as well as quotations from writers, such as Virginia Woolf, who wrote about the connection between walking and creativity. It’s very much worth reading.
