In Be Like the Best, Brandon’s “Be Like” is “A Quiet Walk”

Thomas Jefferson did it. So did Charles Dickens and Ludvig van Beethoven.

Silicon Valley executives do it. Steve Jobs was famous for his walking meetings around Palo Alto.

LinkedIn, Google, Facebook and Nike all incorporate walking paths on their campuses.

There are so many advantages to getting in a good walk, but it’s something that we often overlook. It can stimulate creativity, help reduce bodyfat, clear your head, improve circulation, reduce stress and the list goes on.
