The answer is all around us. Every year more research shows that connecting with nature is hugely beneficial for our health and happiness. And you don't need to live in the countryside or have access to lots of green space for it to work. Often it's the simple pleasures -- eating seasonally, identifying wild flowers on the way to work, listening to birdsong, being close to water or nurturing a houseplant -- that bring the greatest reward. Around the world, doctors have been experimenting with 'prescribing' nature to help patients' wellbeing, and this book does just that, with inspiring and informative ideas and advice that work no matter where you live. It can help you whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life or just want to explore ways to slow down and truly appreciate the world around you."--Page [4] of cover ER -
