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.

At least, I believe he would if he were able.
He doesn’t have the access to language to ask for something so abstract as walking in the woods... so, when I took my 22 year old son for a walk... he changed.
When he saw a clump of briers he protected me from them by guiding me away... he did many things like that and wouldn’t have been allowed the ability without the quiet of the woods.
I have learned so much here but my main takeaway is that a daily walk in the woods makes a literal world of difference in the somewhat suffocating world that autism seems to inflict. So, thank you!

My son is nonverbal and thanks you for writing this book
