Publisher's Summary

For centuries, poets and philosophers extolled the benefits of a walk in the woods: Beethoven drew inspiration from rocks and trees; Wordsworth composed while tromping over the heath; Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while visiting a park. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams sets out to uncover the science behind nature's positive effects on the brain. From forest trails in Korea to islands in Finland to groves of eucalyptus in California, Williams investigates the science at the confluence of environment, mood, health, and creativity. Delving into completely new research, she uncovers the powers of the natural world to improve health, promote reflection and innovation, and ultimately strengthen our relationships. As our modern lives shift dramatically indoors, these ideas - and the answers they yield - are more urgent than ever.

An Excellent Compilation of the Therapy of Nature

I think the author did a good job of finding research on all the individual aspects of nature (sight, scent, feel, etc) that can contribute to its overall healing properties, and putting it together into one easy to understand text.

A great information source!

I just finished this book and am so glad that I selected it. It provides great information as to how spending time in nature can improve your life, if you needed a reason to enjoy nature. So many interesting studies were referenced that it made me appreciate the content even more. The way in which the studies were included did not feel as though I were listening to a research paper, but rather provided different perspectives about how spending time in nature benefits all of us so much. I enjoyed the narrator's reading pace and enthusiasm. It gave life to the words. I definitely would recommend this book.
