But to most of us, five hours a month being out in nature is the minimum amount which will impact our happiness and perceived well-being.
Their heart rate and stress levels won’t drop, and with some, they might increase. It recuperates us from stress and demands. To most of us, being outside amongst the trees and wildlife has a positive effect. It made me understand better what being out does to my brain and body. It strengthened my relationship with nature. I liked the book despite the boring bits. On those occasions, I would have rather been out, but that was impossible as I read the book the hour before I went to bed. The book was thin in that sense it felt like forced prolonging. I would have liked to skip that extra stuff which bored me and read more and detailed recounts of the studies done about nature. I found the journal format nice for research and the personal experience around the studies done, but I couldn’t care less her description of what some student wore and what was written on that student’s buttocks. She traveled to study the research done from Korea to Finland to the USA to Singapore, and back home. The whole book is an argument of what nature does to our mental and physical health. That is why I recommend this book, and because what nature does to us.įlorence Williams wrote the book in a journal format where she moved from research, country, and her personal experience throughout the chapters. Science is not worth anything if you can’t look the subject through a critical eye. That is rare to find in popular science books. She commented on the research’s weaknesses. Thankfully Florence Williams was critical on my behalf. Nature and going out weekly preferably daily means a lot to me, and I was ready to agree with all the research introduced in the book. I’m not able to make an impartial review from the book.
