Blog Tour: Walk Your Way to Better

Today I share my review for Walk Your Way to Better by Joyce Shulman. This book gets a 5 star review from me!

This blog tour is brought to you by WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING TOUR.

Book Description:

This is a book about walking your way to better. Everywhere you turn, people, podcasts and gurus promise a simple path to the life you want. But few of them work. Why? Because simply reading the words is rarely enough to call your heart and mind to action. This book is different. Each section provides a thought-starter, insight or story. But I don’t want you to just read it. I want you to read a section and then lace up your sneakers and head out the door. Because while walking, your brain processes in a unique way, enabling you to recognize the things that are truly holding your back and the changes you actually need to make. You will literally Walk Your Way to Better. Along the way, you will forge a powerful connection between your mind and your body. And bonus — you’ll feel better and become fitter.

Jessica’s Review:

This book accomplishes what it says: You really can ‘walk your way to better’. If you are thinking ‘a better what’?  The answer is A BETTER YOU.

Shulman gives us 99 short chapters and walks. These chapters can be read within a few minutes and consist of a statement to start you thinking, information/research or a story from her life that she deems appropriate to the topic she is directly talking to you about.  Now, after you finish a chapter go do as Shulman highly suggests and take a walk!  Walking helps the brain process what it just read. You may surprise yourself with the thoughts that may come to you as you walk!

This is not a self-help book about losing weight, though that could possibly happen if you walk after each chapter as Shulman intends.  By the time you are finished you feel accomplished and as if you know the author.   Shulman also encourages you to be interactive with the book, besides walking: write down your thoughts, answer the questions she poses in this book, etc.

Shulman does say that not every chapter will ‘speak’ to you and this was true for me.  I am not a mother, and Shulman is and she wrote about her children a lot in the chapters.  So much so I started to think I was not the target demographic for this book and then… BAM… I read a chapter that ‘spoke’ to me and changed my thoughts on this book.

This book is for every woman to read.  Read it and also walk your way to better!

Walk Your Way to Better is available to purchase now on Amazon.com.

About the Author:

Joyce Shulman, founder and CEO of 99 Walks and Macaroni Kid reaches millions of moms each month with hyper-local and national e-newsletters and websites, social media content, video and her Weekly Walk podcast. Having created a one-of-a-kind digital platform, she connects families to the wonders of their own communities and inspires women to chase their dreams and crush their goals.
Her most recent endeavor, 99 Walks, is on a mission to combat loneliness and improve fitness through the simple act of encouraging moms to walk together. Her mission? Nothing short of getting a million women walking.

Throughout her two decades as an entrepreneur, Joyce has guided SAHMs, teachers and even MBAs to success. Joyce shares how moms need to “take care of mama bear” and avoid the “martyr mom syndrome.” Her experience in business and leading mompreneurs makes her a coveted speaker where she shares tactics for beating burnout, fueling creativity, goal crushing, how walking can fuel productivity and performance, and more.

Joyce received her Bachelor’s in Business Management from the University of Maryland and her Juris Doctor, Cum Laude, from St. John’s University School of Law. After law school, she spent more than a dozen years as a New York City lawyer where her practice focused on complex commercial litigation.

A self-confessed idea junkie, in 1998, Joyce abandoned law firm life to liberate her entrepreneurial spirit and focus on the things that are most important to her: family, community and empowering women to chase their dreams.
