Thank you for this, I to am a walker, I started in 2009 , when I was having many health issues from being overweight.I can tell you that in the beginning I had no idea how great it was going to be.I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to convince people how wonderful it is. I now call myself an outdoorsy, because not a day goes by that don’t wake up with that strong urge, to get up & go outside for my walk , (serenity now ).When Im walking,I am so involved that I don’t even feel my legs moving,I do some thinking but most of the time it’s just breathing , sounds, sights ,nature. I am hooked totally , I love it with my whole being & in 18 months I lost 128lbs.I encourage everyone to go enjoy walking!!! 🧘♀️💃🌺🌼🇬🇧🇨🇦M I
Everyone is a genius. Even you my friend small brother. May peace and love find you and show you that you are enough and a beautiful genius under all conditions
This guy is funny, charming, and brilliant. He made a entire business solely out of human companionship. Ingenious in its simplicity. Sometimes ideas don’t need to be crazy or innovative in order to work
Oh my gosh! I love this guy! I just told my husband the other day that the elderly neighbor seems sad and lonely and that I should ask him to go on my walks with me! Looks like this wasn’t a silly idea after all!
That is true_so many elderly are told by their doctors to walk for personal heart health, but there is no one to walk with if the family is not involved
WOW....It's amazing that this day, after long time when I was driving everywhere, I just took walk. Don't know why. Came home and this was first video that I saw on my screen. Beautiful speech.
Walking is one of the best medicines existing. Communication must be the other. As a lifetime walker I have to ask myself: why didn't this idea occur to me? Anyway, happy other person was cleverer.
You can still start this. I'm sure he can't walk everyone who needs a walk. It's not about getting all the attention and praise for that idea. It's about providing something to the community that is helpful. I see his talk as an invitation to do something that you could do too. His talk just reminded me that I should have done it when I came up with the idea half a year ago. I called the idea walk'n'talk.
What an amazing guy and what a simple idea. These stories re so important and are just not covered by media anymore. I miss television shows from 10 years ago when the content was inspiring. I got so fed up of the kind of shows that I finally started my own UA-cam channel a month ago. I hope more and more such people get platform!
That was a really great speech Well I really think that walking and talking can change you mood We should go more outdoors and talk to each other together :)
I loved this so much and I'm even more motivated to start a walking club in my community. Thank you for the thought provoking talk, much love from Eswatini, Africa. ❤
One advice : don't say- people I walked, but instead - people I walked with.. It might be a slip of the tongue.. But anyway, great talk man! Great example! My heart goes to you! Thank you!
I started local walk groups for people over 45 30 years ago an still doing it, over 55's now! It's kept me in better health, taught me about all the areas around the places I live, got me new friends and new experiences. Walkers help each other with ideas, repairs and other information, a few laughs, and stress relief!
now people are paying for simple things like walking and talking, the world is on a downhill smh, anyway i like what this dude is doing 👍👍 more often we should shutdown our computers and social medias and just walk and talk with our family, friends and good people
one the one hand, I have the same opinion. But maybe those learnings bring us back to what is important anyway. When people pay for something, they value it. We somehow behaved that way too. We only focus on the things we are getting or paying money for. Others are often neglected. Maybe, it's all just a part of evolution :)
I offer to do this in my little suburb..Let me try There is a tribal saying that if you speak out your ideas, the stress that causes pain and disease leave you..And thats is the essence of this people walker to let the walked talk
Yesterday I had a thought. Today I shared it with someone and they said "Like the People Walker in LA". So here I am. And quite happy that good ideas are popping up in different forms all over the place.
What if you have trouble talking and listening, like I do? I jump all over the place with my subjects and always bring the subject back to myself: I have Asperger's and BPD. Outside of my immediate tiny family, I have no friends. I would love to be walked, though.
Very nice 😊, thanks. I take Christine’s little dogs for a walk everyday. Christine said it’s the best thing I can do for her. She’s so busy and it takes a load off her mind knowing they get out for fresh air and exercise. Walks around here are beautiful and entertaining. We walk the beach and down by the harbor. We are doing good, so greatful for Christine and Tom’s support. So glad Dan is going to the YMCA, it does wonders for his physique . Dan keeps me updated on how you’re doing, sounds like you’re doing well. Take care and stay safe and well 💕
Hopefully, in some of your walking time, you can also go to an animal shelter and walk a dog - it will make the dog so happy, he/she will get exercise, and being able to interact with humans and go on a leash will make the dog much more adoptable, not to mention the benefits you will get from exercise, interaction with an animal, and knowing you did something selfless (which you already do for your friend's dogs). Thanks!
Here in KSA had a walking competition that contains people around the world. they walked over 622 miles for 30 days!! Most of them reached safely. A girl has got in coma because of sunburning . And several already quit. Hopefully kind of this competitions spread around the world.
Would you rather spend your time hunting and foraging for all your food? How about building your own house with your time? The concept of money has allowed society to get this far. Think a little deeper next time
You are so funny, easy to talk to I am sure, you are saving lives! Helping lonely people is a cure for so many! Helping their depression and loneliness and getting them healthy at the same time. People that are isolated need more people like you!! What an amazing idea! You are brilliant! God Bless you!
Value yourself when you give your time to others . That's the core essence of this speech. Know yourself, be together, give a smile...... Manners cost nothing but kindness !!! ❤❤❤ 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🤓🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Useful tools: deep knowledge of local paths, flora, fauna, geology, geography, history & economy (interesting walks), good hat, sunscreen, & shoes, sensitivity to symptoms of looming medical emergencies and basic response skills (CPR).
Loved the talk...but let's not forget that humans are not the only ones who need to walk. Go to an animal shelter and walk a dog - it will make the dog so happy, he/she will get exercise, and being able to interact with humans and go on a leash will make the dog much more adoptable, not to mention the benefits you will get from exercise, interaction with an animal, and knowing you did something selfless.

Nope! I have no desire to tangle with the federal government by trespassing onto Government owned military land. At the worst it seems like a great way to get shot and at the best 15 years in a federal penitentiary for trespassing. You guys are morons and I can't wait to see how many of you get arrested for sheer stupidity! I love a good protest, attend several a year for various causes but trespassing is not protesting!
It struck me how lucid this man is. Not an um, er, like. or you know in his talk. He's a walking advertisement for the mental as well as the physical benefits of walking.

I lost 31 lbs in 5 months by walking almost two hours in the early morning. In a fasted stomach.
Wow , what a wonderful testimony ! Thank you for sharing your experience
He’s a genius. Companionship does eliminate pain, sadness and depression.
Everyone is a genius. Even you my friend small brother. May peace and love find you and show you that you are enough and a beautiful genius under all conditions
@small brother its all gonna be bright again one day my friend
You are Genius. Elizabeth!
@@aliciaarkell135 🌎🌏🌍❤🖤💛💜💚💙
small brother...I never said I was but your negative trolling makes you look very small minded and less than intellectual. Facts.
His genuine kindness is so beautiful. His message is really quite simple " be there for someone", be a friend and you too will be happy.
This guy is funny, charming, and brilliant. He made a entire business solely out of human companionship. Ingenious in its simplicity. Sometimes ideas don’t need to be crazy or innovative in order to work
Perfectly put ;D
Beautifully said !
This is the first time I’ve watched anything about mental health, and not cried, but smiled the entire time. Thank you...
I'd take a walk with this guy. Great personality and funny.
You seem to have the rare ability to just BE with people, and make time okay. You are a treasure.
Man! what a fresh breath of air.
This cured my depression I swear
It's all about connection in our ever increasingly isolated society 👍
I work at a Senior Citizen 'wellness' center...the last thing they bother doing is Walk. And you know...I'm going to PUT IT Out There!! I love walking
Oh my gosh! I love this guy! I just told my husband the other day that the elderly neighbor seems sad and lonely and that I should ask him to go on my walks with me! Looks like this wasn’t a silly idea after all!
That is true_so many elderly are told by their doctors to walk for personal heart health, but there is no one to walk with if the family is not involved
This is life changing. I love a simple idea turning into a global sensation.
He is so deeply kind , he reminds me of Forrest Gump : )
WOW....It's amazing that this day, after long time when I was driving everywhere, I just took walk. Don't know why. Came home and this was first video that I saw on my screen. Beautiful speech.
Small talk to get to the big talk!!! Love it!! Great point. Walking is a great way to build relationships. Congratulations on your TedTalk Chuck!
Colleen McNeese walking was a key negotiating tool for Ronald Reagan as president
That resonated for me, too. That small talk is ok. Its an important and safe place to start.

We should go more outdoors and talk to each other together :)
YES ;D
in india people are doing this for thousand of years its called "kavad yatra"
LOL there is nothing new under the sun
"I ruined my own joke!" Me....
I wanna walk with you
I love creating shared experiences
CHUCK IS THE MAN! SO INSPIRING!
I loved this so much and I'm even more motivated to start a walking club in my community. Thank you for the thought provoking talk, much love from Eswatini, Africa. ❤
This guy reminds me of Tom Hanks in the movie Forrest Gump when he was jogging...ha-ha! Great speech though!
Was thinking the same thing :)

facts: The German TV show he mentioned is called "Galileo", ~ 1.5mln people watch it per episode.

Have you seen king of queens??? The heffernanas hire a dog walker to walk her father a few times a week. It was a huge part of the show for years.
I was trying to remember the name of that show.
Walking, especially on a quiet beautiful trail, is like bird watching with tremendous additional health benefits that money cannot buy.
Smalltalk is not so small.
What a novel idea. Let's walk and talk together.
LOVE the talk. HATE the UCLA promotion camera work. I am a grad and sometimes I'm ashamed of the fact.
