A guide to shinrin-yoku and time among trees

Qing Li introduces shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of spending mindful, intentional time in forests, and connects it with questions of health and well-being. The book brings together the practice’s sensory elements—observing trees, touching bark, and noticing forest scents—with discussion of claimed effects on stress, mood, and physical health. More than 100 color photographs show forests around the world, including Japanese forest therapy trails, giving the guide a visual dimension alongside its account of forest bathing. Its subject sits at the intersection of nature, everyday wellness, and a deliberate way of attending to one’s surroundings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in forest bathing and the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku

Book overview

The definitive--and by far the most popular--guide to the therapeutic Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or the art and science of how trees can promote health and happiness

Notice how a tree sways in the wind. Run your hands over its bark. Take in its citrusy scent. As a society we suffer from nature deficit disorder, but studies have shown that spending mindful, intentional time around trees--what the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing--can promote health and happiness.

In this beautiful book--featuring more than 100 color photographs from forests around the world, including the forest therapy trails that criss-cross Japan--Dr. Qing Li, the world's foremost expert in forest medicine, shows how forest bathing can reduce your stress levels and blood pressure, strengthen your immune and cardiovascular systems, boost your energy, mood, creativity, and concentration, and even help you lose weight and live longer.

Once you've discovered the healing power of trees, you can lose yourself in the beauty of your surroundings, leave everyday stress behind, and reach a place of greater calm and wellness.
