**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

More than thirty years after its initial publication, it remains every bit as relevant today. A New York Times bestseller for 14 weeks in 1978, Running & Being became known as the philosophical bible for runners around the world. Written by the late, beloved Dr. George Sheehan, Running & Being tells of the author's midlife return to the world of exercise, play, and competition, in which he found "a world beyond sweat" that proved to be a source of great revelation and personal growth.
