The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative Audiobook (Free)

For centuries, poets and philosophers extolled the advantages of a walk in the woods: Beethoven drew inspiration from stones and trees; Wordsworth composed while tromping within the heath; Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while going to a recreation area. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams sets out to uncover the technology behind nature’s results on the mind.

From forest paths 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 study, she uncovers the capabilities of the natural world to boost health, promote representation and advancement, and ultimately improve our interactions. As our modern lives shift significantly indoors, these concepts?and the answers they produce?are more urgent than ever.
