The Nature Fix by Florence Williams
An intrepid investigation into natures restorative benefits by a prize-winning author.
"A beautifully written, thoroughly enjoyable exposition of a major principle of human life now supported by evidence in biology, psychology, and medicine" -- Edward O. Wilson
"The Nature Fix by Florence Williams is an ideal holiday pick too, chock-full of insights about the health benefits of spending time in nature." -- Rohan Silva, Summer Reads 2017 - The Guardian
"... the author makes a compelling argument for time outdoors. She takes a refreshing approach, including 'forest bathing" (the Japanese custom of a sensory walk in the woods); ecotherapy in Scotland; and how nature can produce the same effects as mind-altering drugs. Thought-provoking and excellent." -- BBC Wildlife Magazine
"... impassioned and thorough exploration of nature’s impact on our bodies, psyches and creativity..." -- The Irish Examiner
