Embrace the healing powers of nature and increase your sense of wellbeing
- The latest medical and scientific research that shows connecting with nature is essential to our wellbeing
- Easy, small ways to feel the benefits, wherever you are
- A beautifully illustrated, inspirational and informative book
This inspirational and informative guide shows how we can all benefit from spending more time in nature. Drawing on the latest research, it shows you don't need to live in the countryside or have access to an abundance of green space to make valuable connections with the natural world around you. Often it's the simple pleasures - like eating seasonally, identifying wild flowers, listening to birdsong, being close to water or nurturing a houseplant - that bring the greatest reward.
Around the world, doctors have been experimenting with 'prescribing' nature to help patients' well-being, and this book does just that. It can help you whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life or just want to explore ways to slow down and truly appreciate the world around you.
