4 must-read memoirs that explore healing through travel
The Salt Path, a memoir written by Raynor Winn, had been in the spotlight recently due to allegations regarding misleading information. Published in 2018, the novel received a movie adaptation last year. It follows the story of Winn and her husband, Moth, as they walk 630 miles along the South West Coast Path in UK following the repossession of their house and Moth's diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration, a terminal illness. Grieving the loss of a home, and confronting the devastating news about Moth's illness, the journey is not merely physical, but an emotionally resonant journey about healing and renewal. Winn's description of the natural world accompanies a personal narrative and philosophical musings in this memoir. Here are a few more books that are centred around a journey that marks renewal and transformation: Four years after the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed decided to go on an eleven hundred mile long hike along the Pacific Crest trail despite not having any prior long hiking experience. Published in 2012, Wild: From Lost to Found (Atlantic Books, pages 336, Rs 499) is the story of Strayed as she navigates her way not just through the hiking trail, but also through her grief. With humour interspersed between the reflective and vulnerable prose, like the title suggests, Wild is a memoir about finding oneself after feeling lost. Spiralling into alcoholism and chaos in London, Amy Liptrot returns to her childhood home in the Orkney Islands following her rehabilitation. The Outrun is a memoir that charts Liptrot's journey from the chaos of city life to her gradual recovery as she reconnects with here hometown and the nature that surrounds it. The lyrical prose blends a deeply personal narrative with illustrative nature writing as Liptrot describes the crashing waves, the auroras, and the puffins. Following the hustle of city life, Liptrot reconnects with herself and the natural world as it turns into a solace for her. This memoir deals with an issue that is not merely personal, but also engrained in society, Following a racially motivated attack, Anita Sethi embarks on a journey across the Pennines, known as the backbone of Britain. The attack which assailed the rights of Sethi because of her race deeply traumatised her, and through each step she takes Sethi reclaims her space in the country as she contemplates about identity and belonging. I Belong Here (Bloomsbury Wildlife, pages 320, Rs 555) is a personal memoir that talks about racism, trauma, and healing. Unlike the other books mentioned on this list, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (Penguin, pages 416, Rs 919) by Rachel Joyce is a fictional novel that follows Harold Fry as he embarks on a six hundred mile long journey on foot. On a seemingly usual day Harold receives a goodbye letter from an old friend he hasn't heard from in years. As he walks to the post office to send a reply, an encounter convinces him that he must deliver the letter in person and he sets off on an expedition to see his friend. En route he meets strangers and witnesses the lives of ordinary people as he looks back on his life and the events that steered the course of his life.

I tested natural deodorant after FDA recalled 67,000 cases of popular brands - here's why I'll never go back
With the FDA recalling 67,000 cases of popular deodorant brands, one journalist made the switch to natural deodorant and was shocked by the results. Sophie Bates, a writer for The Sun, tried the natural product from Wild, a company that launched in 2020 with a focus on eco and skin-friendly products. Bates tested the deodorant daily for a month, putting it to the test through the office, gym and overnight. She went in with concerns of irritation and effectiveness, but found she was 'pleasantly surprised' by the product. 'For the first few days [I] didn't feel as fresh as I usually would with a traditional deodorant, but after that, I didn't notice much difference at all,' she said. 'I found myself free from body odor for the majority of the day, but I did sweat more than I usually do at first.' Bates said that while the natural deodorant took 'some getting used to,' she found that any odor neutralized following a couple of days of use. 'Everything about Wild is natural, from the recycled packaging to the chemical-free formula, but without compromising on quality,' she added. 'Once you get over the initial transition period, Wild's deodorant effectively keeps odor at bay, and I noticed long-lasting results without needing to top up.' Bates said the deodorant, while a little messy and more expensive, was overall a great natural option. Wild is available from $16 for cases and refills, $7.50 for refills and $11 for cases only, with a choice of scents and packaging options. The company's refillable options for natural deodorant is in an effort to reduce single-use plastics, and it claims that each refill saves 30 grams of plastic from reaching landfill sites. Bates testing of the product comes as the FDA announced a recall of 67,000 cases of the popular Power Stick deodorant brand. The Pennsylvania-based manufacturer, A.P Duauville, LLC, initiated the voluntary recall of 67,214 cases in total on July 10. The recall included more than 20,000 cases of the brand's 'power fresh'-scented Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. It also covered more than 22,400 cases of 'spring fresh'-scented Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, and more than 23,400 cases of the brand's Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. The Pennsylvania-based manufacturer, A.P Duauville, LLC, initiated the voluntary recall of 67,214 cases in total on July 10 All recalled items were packaged in a 1.8 ounce size. The recall was issued due to reported 'cGMP deviations,' which indicates a procedure and standards issue for product manufacturing, according to the Current Good Manufacturing Practices. Customers were able to purchase the recalled products at Walmart, Dollar Tree and Amazon.

Philadelphia Eagles Reveal Super Bowl LIX Rings
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Super Bowl LIX Champions have received their rings. On Friday night, the Philadelphia Eagles finally got their hands on some new jewelry. Months after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl and hoisting the Lombardi, the next phase of the celebration has been completed. At this point, the Eagles have just one more step to complete the celebration. Then it's on to the next season. You can't be great without the greatness of others 💍 — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 19, 2025 After a disappointing conclusion to the 2023 NFL season, the Eagles were motivated to get back on top. They had a slow start to the 2024 NFL season. After winning the opener on the road in Brazil against the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles went on to lose two of their next three games. At the Week 5 bye, the Eagles were 2-2 on the year. Once they returned from the bye week, the Eagles went on an absolute tear. They started by beating the Cleveland Browns 20-16. From that point on, the Eagles fired off 10 straight wins.

Anna Congdon and Saquon Barkley #26 of the Philadelphia Eagles pose for photographs on the Green Carpet during the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl ring ceremony at The Battery on July 18, 2025 in Philadelphia, streak ended on December 22, during a road game against the Washington Commanders. The Eagles played most of the game without Jalen Hurts, who was dealing with a concussion. The Eagles lost 36-33. With two more games left on the schedule, the Eagles won out. They ended the year with a 14-3 record. They didn't get a first-round bye, but they picked up the home-field advantage and had it throughout the remainder of the NFC Playoffs. In the Wild Card round, the Eagles defeated the Packers with a 22-10 victory. It was the second time Philadelphia managed to take down the Packers. When the Eagles got to the Divisional Round, they engaged in their most competitive postseason game of the year. Dealing with snowy conditions, the Eagles squeezed out a 28-22 win over Matthew Stafford and the LA Rams. In the NFC Championship, the Eagles landed a rematch with their NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders. Since the Commanders were the last team to defeat the Eagles, they were confident they could get the job done again, punching their ticket to the Super Bowl. Philadelphia made sure they couldn't get anywhere close to New Orleans. The Eagles dominated the Commanders 55-23. They took that dominant performance and followed up with another dominant showing on the NFL's biggest stage in New Orleans. Looking for revenge from their last Super Bowl appearance, the Eagles took care of business against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 win. For the second time in franchise history, the Eagles were named the Super Bowl Champions. The veteran quarterback, Jalen Hurts, was recognized as the game's MVP. When the Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys for Week 1 in September, they'll celebrate one final time by hanging the Super Bowl banner in the rafters at Lincoln Financial Field. Then, the game will be in the rearview. The Eagles are once again starting the year on top, defending their title as champs. For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports
