Description

"A thoughtful, refreshing book with a simple but powerful message.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"I'm no tree hugger, but The Nature Fix made me want to run outside and embrace the nearest oak. Not for the tree's sake but mine. Florence Williams makes a compelling, and elegant, case that nature is not only beautiful but also good for us. If Thoreau were steeped in modern neuroscience and possessed an endearingly self-deprecating sense of humor, the result would be the book you hold in your hands." --Eric Weiner, New York Times best-selling author of The Geography of Genius

 

From forest trails in Korea, to islands in Finland, to eucalyptus groves in California, Florence Williams investigates the science behind nature's positive effects on the brain. Delving into brand-new research, she uncovers the powers of the natural world to improve health, promote reflection and innovation, and strengthen our relationships. As our modern lives shift dramatically indoors, these ideas--and the answers they yield--are more urgent than ever.
