Synopsis:

Discover the new science and ancient wisdom on why nature makes us healthier and happier in body and soul from the co-author of The Spirit Almanac and mindbodygreen’s Senior Sustainability Editor.

For centuries, we have known that getting outside is good for us. Yet we have become increasingly disconnected from the earth that nourishes us, with most of us spending 87% of our days indoors. In response, writer and environmentalist Emma Loewe demonstrates the power of nature therapy and its healing properties in a guidebook organized by eight landscapes. In each chapter, you'll find research-backed ways for connecting with nature, exploring each landscape, and protecting it in the future, so that it can be healthy and nurturing for generations to come. Drawing off modern science and the principles of environmental psychology, she uncovers:

• Why being by the ocean makes you measurably happier
• How living near greenery helps you lives longer
• The staggering, illuminating statistic that forests can make you more relaxed within 90 seconds of walking among trees.

Alongside beautiful four-color illustrations that inspire us all to get outside in big and small ways, this stunning book―more urgent than ever―will appeal to anyone looking to connect with the world around them, whether in their neighborhood park or on a backpacking getaway.
