7 Principles of Nature: How We Strayed and How We Return

Of all relationships, the connection between humanity and nature is most sacred.
 
For more than 2,500 years, humans have strayed from nature, challenging humanity with immeasurable consequences. 
 
In 7 Principles of Nature, neuropsychologist Aldrich Chan unravels the roots of this misalignment through a compelling theory of its development, charting three critical phases that lead to a misguided future. Blending the rigor of science with the wisdom of Daoism—an ancient philosophy rooted in nature—Dr. Chan reveals a path toward integration. Packed with insightful reflections and practical techniques, 7 Principles of Nature is a must-read for reclaiming connection and empowering mental health.
