Seasonal Ways to Embrace Nature for a Happier You

Your practical guide to better health, stronger relationships, and a happier life--by reconnecting with nature There is something simply soul-soothing about being in nature. In fact, research shows that spending time outside can improve the immune system, combat stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and boost self-esteem. Around the globe, rising movements are driving us to reconnect with Mother Nature--from shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing") in Japan to friluftsliv ("open-air life") in Scandinavia--yet our everyday lifestyles have distanced us from the great outdoors. For stressed-out professionals, reclusive bookworms, worn-out parents, and their cooped-up kids, Forest Therapy shares why getting back to nature is critically important for our well-being, and offers fun, easy practices to break out of hibernation. From a simple walk in the woods and countryside couples' therapy to DIY natural beauty products and simple ways to bring the great outdoors into your home, Forest Therapy offers practical steps and inspiration to tap into nature's restorative power, no matter the season or the weather. Illustrated with charming black-and-white line art, Forest Therapy is a warm, witty, and personal guide to improving your health, deepening your relationships with your partner and children, and living a fabulous al fresco life.

If you enjoy unexpected finds then you will enjoy this book of simple poems (the last poem was very unexpected) 
The photographs by Ken Robbin enchance the poetry.
