I am planning to walk the TP in Sep on my own,doing weekly day trips from London; I’m female /65: do you think it will be safe walking? I am sure that with your experience you are not looking for recommendations, but I noticed that some of the trails you are yet to conquer I happen to have been myself. When I lived up in Norfolk I hiked parts of the Peddars Way in sections, the part around Castle Acre in the Fens is nice, as is the coastal stretch of AONB around Well-next-the-sea. I noticed you’ve done some of the Welsh trails but I hiked a bit of Offa’s Dyke too, starting close to Hay-on-Wye. Finally, the Southwest Coast Path is stunning at any section. It would take weeks just to traverse around Cornwall alone, but one section on the southern Roseland peninsula is truly magnificent! They tried these thought experiments in classical China, too. But our Chinese thinkers weren’t as intrigued. This is a fine intellectual game, they determined, but you can play these games all day long, and they will have no impact on how you live your ordinary everyday life. None whatsoever. Due to the nature of the trail, wild camping is not generally advised or possible. Under English law you are not legally allowed to wild camp without permission of the landowner. Getting to/from the Thames Path A train sits at Tilehurst station, just metres away from the Thames Path. I read The Path in one sitting and have been talking about it to everyone. It’s brilliant, mesmerizing, profound—and deeply contrarian. It stands conventional wisdom on its head and points the way to a life of genuine fulfillment and meaning.”Step 1: create a net worth statement: it simply outlines your assets and your liabilities. Your assets are everything you own, valued at what you would received if each was sold today. Your liabilities are everything you owe if you were to pay them off today. The difference between you assets and your liabilities is your net worth In Chapter 9, what do the authors reveal about how we have mistakenly interpreted Asian ideas? How have the teachings of Buddhism, for example, been misappropriated? How does our definition of mindfulness differ from the true Buddhist definition of this concept?

ABOUT THE BOOK

I’m planning a charity walk taking in around 100 miles of the Thames Path, ideally ending at the Thames Barrier. Would you be able to tell me 1) is this part of the path doable by bike 2) can we take bikes on the train from Waterloo to Teddington? The fact is that there has been a wide range of visions of how humans can lead lives of their own making. Once we recognize that, we can see the “modern” for what it actually is: one narrative out of many, built from a specific time and place. An entire world of thought thus becomes available to us—one that challenges some of our most cherished myths. None of what we are looking at should be considered “Chinese” views as opposed to “Western” ones, any more than we are dealing with traditional ideas as opposed to modern ones. As we explore these concepts, we will see that not only have people been debating how best to organize the world since long before the modern era but also that there are true alternatives in thinking about how to live well. The Path, like the Harvard lectures on which it is based, is exceptionally popular for a book of its kind - on the face of it an esoteric philosophy which doesn’t offer self-help so much as the re-definition of what constitutes self. I suspect, however, that the reason for its appeal is not its ‘doctrines,’ of which it has none, but its offer of a sort of religion which has been lost in the West for almost two millennia. The Path outlines a religion of ethical and ritual habit rather than a religion of faith and belief. The loss of this sort of religion has been so total that many are likely to perceive its suggestions - for this is what they are - as no religion at all.In May 2018 I walked the Thames Path from the source to Putney Bridge in 6 consecutive days to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support, however my feet had suffered terribly and I wasn’t able to finish the final stretch to the Thames Barrier.

From roughly 600 to 200 BC, an explosion of philosophical and religious movements throughout Eurasia gave rise to a wide variety of visions for human flourishing. During this period, which has come to be called the Axial Age, many of the ideas that developed in Greece also emerged in China and vice versa. In fact, in China, as we will see, certain beliefs arose that were very similar to those common in the West today. But in China, such views lost the day, while other ideas emerged in opposition, arguing for a very different path to a good life. In 2012, however, he was deeply inspired by a letter a young but soon-to-be-killed officer called Alexander Douglas Gillespie had sent his parents from the western front. This described his dream of creating a commemorative path after the war, along no man’s land all the way from Switzerland to the Channel. After that, he wrote, he hoped to “send every man and child in Western Europe on pilgrimage along that Via Sacra, so that they might think and learn what war means from the silent witnesses on either side”. We thoroughly recommend the Explorer scale, and the Landrangers really won’t help you once you hit London.

We decided to coauthor the book because it just made sense to join forces: Michael had deep experience with the ideas that would form the basis for the book, and Christine was familiar with these philosophies and also had experience writing for a popular audience. It seemed an expedient way to get these important ideas out there. Step 4: Determine if you need to adjust your goal: planning to have surplus helps ensure that there are sufficient assets to meet your needs in the face of uncertainty. It allows a cushion for any unexpected expenses. You should always have a clear understanding of where you are today financially: which assets are bringing you wealth, which assets are taking wealth away from you, and how much time you have to reach your financial goals.Although I loved the book with all its details about finance and how to invest for financial independence and the excellent addition of self-development chapters in it and the latest chapter about happiness, it is almost the same as the previous book of the series! It is the same as unshakeable!! Large parts of the ‘path’ from the source to Wallingford or so are no path at all (with sometimes waist high nettles and thistles, even far into June …) and lots of times you also cannot see the river. Not much fun there. We hardly ever met other walkers and wondered if the Thames Path was being maintained at all. Offers interesting alternatives to some of our modern ideas of self and society . . . worth the cover price."
