The Complete Walker IV is encyclopedic in scope with regard to the technical aspects of backpacking; however, the authors definitely address the mental components as well. The initial chapter is titled "Why Walk?". Also, as I mentioned, they include stories and opinion throughout the book that convey their love for the outdoors. Anyway, toejam, if you read it, I suspect you'd feel it's a worthwhile read.

DayTripper, thanks for recommending The Man Who Walked Through Time. It's definitely on my reading list. Colin Fletcher is such an engaging author I'm really looking forward to reading this and possibly some of his other books.
