An engaging guide to the art of forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, for anyone who wants to explore the transformative power of nature in promoting health and happiness.

This book is both an invitation to take up the practice of forest bathing and an inspiration to connect with nature as a way to help heal both the planet and humanity.

Gli innumerevoli benefici sono anche sul piano psicologico: scarichiamo emozioni, chiariamo la mente, rigeneriamo l'attenzione, prendiamo più efficacemente decisioni, elaboriamo soluzioni e idee. Proprio oggi dunque, che viviamo così lontani dai ritmi e dai modi con cui siamo cresciuti come specie, è necessario più che mai imparare ciò che la natura ha da insegnarci.
