NPR host Peter Sagal takes the reader on a journey through his lifetime of running, and all the things in his life that running has helped him through. Sprinkled throughout the book are amazing anecdotes, laugh-out-loud funny humor, and surprisingly helpful advice about everything from how to run to how to live your life with more intentionality.

Anyone who enjoys a good memoir or self-help book.

The humor, the advice to live more intentionally, and the candid way that the author shares his own journey, including the mistakes he's made along the way.

Lace up my running shoes and hit the streets WITHOUT MY EARBUDS.

Inspired.

It has great advice, compelling stories, and a great wisdom that can only come from someone who has lived a long life and failed as often as they've succeeded.

While I expected a book by Peter Sagal to be funny, I didn't also expect it to be touching, honest, and genuinely helpful. The advice in this book, scattered throughout between genuinely compelling anecdotes and observations, is about how to run, how to be a better person, and how to live your life in a more deliberate way. I found myself genuinely rethinking some of my life choices, as well as gasping, laughing, and almost crying along with some of the stories he told in the book. It also made me want to lace up my running shoes and hit the streets (not the gym!), which is no small feat. Overall, I found this to be a charming, thoroughly entertaining and worthwhile read. Highly recommended.
