In Praise of Walking: A New Scientific Exploration by Shane O'Mara

3.0

Interesting & engaging, definitely was a good impetus to get out and even more than I currently do (which to be fair, is a lot). Irritating that while the author spent a lot of time researching many subjects, he seems to have done zero research into current studies on obesity, as many of his comments indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of the science of weight and weight loss (for example “if getting information out there was the solution, we would have no anti-vaccine movement, no smokers, and no obesity”) which was disappointing & served (for me) to undermine his position as expert on most of the other things he discussed.
