Reflective memoir intertwining running, life, and philosophy.

"Running & Being" is like having a wise old friend who intertwines tales of personal fitness with profound life philosophy. If you're someone who sees running as more than just exercise, but as a metaphor for personal growth and existential discovery, Dr. Sheehan's stories and insights will resonate with you deeply. Its reflective, almost meditative take on combining physical and spiritual well-being will appeal especially to those looking for inspiration both on and off the track.

Description

A New York Times bestseller for 14 weeks in 1978, Running & Being became known as the philosophical bible for runners around the world. More than thirty years after its initial publication, it remains every bit as relevant today. Written by the late, beloved Dr. George Sheehan, Running & Being tells of the author's midlife return to the world of exercise, play, and competition, in which he found "a world beyond sweat" that proved to be a source of great revelation and personal growth. But Running & Being focuses more on life than it does, specifically, on running. It provides an outline for a lifetime program of fitness and joy, showing how the body helps determine our mental and spiritual energies. Drawing from the words and actions of the great athletes and thinkers throughout history, Dr. Sheehan ties it all together with his own philosophy on the importance of fitness and sport, as well as his knowledge of training, injury prevention, and race competition. Above all, he describes what it means to experience the oneness of body and mind, of self and the universe. In this, he argues, we have the power to discover "the truth that makes men free."
