#188 - Gideon Enok on How Walking 3,500 Km Across Europe Changed His Life

from The Morning Upgrade Podcast with Ryan Cote · host Ryan Cote

Gideon Enok spent five months walking solo from Denmark to the coast of Spain during the 2020 pandemic. No clear plan. No real explanation for why he started. Just a voice at the ocean one morning that said, "Why don't you walk from Denmark to Santiago?" Two weeks later, he was on the road.In this conversation, Gideon breaks down the three phases of long walking (physical, mental, and spiritual), shares the story of his most painful day on the trail and how it led to forgiveness, and explains why this slow, simple practice changed his life more than anything else he's ever tried. He also talks about his new memoir, The Pilgrim Spirit, and what it was like working with Gregory David Roberts (author of Shantaram) as his writing mentor.If you've ever been curious about walking the Camino de Santiago or wondered what happens when you strip life down to just putting one foot in front of the other for months on end, this one's for you.Take the ideas from this show and put them to work.
