From the Back Cover
Running is not just a physical activity — it is also a reflective endeavor. With the wind at your back and ribbons of roadway in front of you, there is ample time to think about life’s big questions.
This first-of-its kind volume brings together some of today’s leading philosophers to address such questions as:
- What is the relationship between success in running and success in life?
- What can we learn from pain?
- Is running a religion?
- How does running fit into the pursuit of a meaningful life?
- What is the connection between running, friendship, and happiness?
The combination of running and philosophy can help us achieve a goal we all share, reflected in the words of eminent Enlightenment philosopher John Locke: "A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this world."
