Publisher's summary

A fun and practical guide to cultivating a more mindful and fulfilling everyday life by tapping into your inner flaneur - perfect for fans of Marie Kondo and The Little Book of Hygge.

Have you ever been walking home from work and unexpectedly took a different path just to learn more about your neighborhood? Or have you been on a vacation and walked around a new city just to take it all in? Then chances are, you’re a flaneur and you didn’t even know it! Originally used to describe well-to-do French men who would stroll city streets in the 19th century, flaneur has evolved to generally mean someone who wanders with intention. Even if you’ve already embraced being a flaneur, did you know that flaneuring has benefits beyond satisfying your craving for wanderlust?

In The Art of Flaneuring, discover the many ways flaneuring can spark creativity, support a more mindful mentality, and improve your overall well-being, including:

  • How flaneuring your mundane daily routine can boost your mental health.
  • Why flaneuring isn’t just for jet-setters - you can flaneur anywhere!
  • How to manage your stress at the office by doing fun flaneur-inspired activities.
  • How to use flaneuring to connect on a deeper level with your friends and partner.
  • And so much more...

With this practical and engaging guide, you can learn how to channel your inner flaneur and cultivate a more creative, fulfilling, and mindful everyday life.

simple and informative guide to explore your world

As someone who tries to quickly get from one destination to the next, I found this book to be helpful in encouraging me to try walking around my neighborhood and really taking in everything. When I left work the other day I decided to take a walk around the city before going home and it helped a lot. I'm looking forward to exploring further thanks to this book.

I wanted to like this.

I’ve been a local explorer for many years, so I thought the concept of flaneuring would be resonant. Not so, it’s just a bourgeois word for wandering. This is a pretentious book’s masquerading as self help. Save yourself a few hours and go for a walk instead of listening to this book

How to take a walk

I couldn't finish this, so it's possible it gets really engaging after the first hour, but the first few chapters read like a high school essay on how to take a walk, including a section with quotes from the author's family on why they like to take walks. In general, this lacks the philosophical substance I was expecting and reads more like a narrative on why people should walk and pay attention to their surroundings. Narration was fine, substance is lacking.
