Summary
For centuries, poets and philosophers extolled the benefits of a walk in the woods: Beethoven drew inspiration from rocks and trees; Wordsworth composed while tromping over the heath; Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while visiting a park. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams sets out to uncover the science behind nature's positive effects on the brain. From forest trails in Korea to islands in Finland to groves of eucalyptus in California, Williams investigates the science at the confluence of environment, mood, health, and creativity. Delving into completely new research, she uncovers the powers of the natural world to improve health, promote reflection and innovation, and ultimately strengthen our relationships. As our modern lives shift dramatically indoors, these ideas - and the answers they yield - are more urgent than ever.

a bit disappointed
the book wasn't to bad. however I found that she repeated herself many times. which I found boring. she did make some good points but over all it all could have been said in two chapters.

Loved this book. It's one of those books that I will keep coming back to.
though the narrator and her impersonations was rather annoying.

Written for Americans
A lot of good science and research but unfortunately it is often followed through by some low grade American “funny” comments which degrade an otherwise decent book.

Enlightening
Great story and science. Not my favourite narrator - ironically, sounded a bit AI. Well worth a listen. Off out for walk in the trees . . .

Excellent content ruined by dreadful narration.
There is some great content in this book. Well researched with compelling insights. Sadly ruined by a narrated who would be more suited to reading children’s stories. Do yourself a favour and buy a hard copy.

Fascinating read that will have you heading outside
Really interesting and entertaining book. I would highly recommend. Good scientific research and storytelling brings the people behind the research to life.
