"To those reeling from trauma or a stressful profession as much as to those suffering from the ennui of modern life, Professor [[John Stilgoe]] has simple advice: **Get out now. Not just outside, but beyond the trap of the programmed electronic age so gently closing around so many people. . . . Go outside, move deliberately, then relax, slow down, look around. Do not jog. Do not run. . . . Instead pay attention to everything that abuts the rural road, the city street, the suburban boulevard. Walk. Stroll. Saunter. Ride a bike and coast along a lot. Explore**."
