Nature, the brain, and everyday life

Florence Williams examines research into how encounters with the natural world may affect the brain, health, reflection, creativity, and relationships. The book’s inquiry spans forest trails in Korea, islands in Finland, and eucalyptus groves in California, connecting varied landscapes with questions about life increasingly spent indoors. Its subject sits at the intersection of nature writing and popular science, with attention to both individual well-being and social connection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in nature writing grounded in scientific research.
  • Those curious about connections between outdoor environments, health, creativity, and relationships.
  • Readers exploring the effects of increasingly indoor modern lives.

Book overview

From forest trails in Korea, to islands in Finland, to eucalyptus groves in California, Florence Williams investigates the science behind nature's positive effects on the brain. Delving into brand-new research, she uncovers the powers of the natural world to improve health, promote reflection and innovation, and strengthen our relationships. As our modern lives shift dramatically indoors, these ideas--and the answers they yield--are more urgent than ever.
