Summary
Busy lives mean it’s harder than ever to find the space to do those things that help you enjoy a greater quality of life. This has led to what is called a “nature deficit.” We are so hooked up to our work, our technology, and the demands placed on us in our daily lives that we no longer have the time or the energy to indulge in those activities that take us away from all our stresses and concerns to relax, restore our sense of wellbeing, and connect to what matters the most.

“A brilliant and concise summary about all that’s wrong with modern life - and more importantly, what we need to do about it to restore balance in the modern world through the biopsychosocial model of health. I highly recommend that you buy this book, implement the strategies and then enjoy the fruits of your labour for the rest of your life.”
Paul Taylor, exercise physiologist, nutritionist, neuroscientist, podcaster and author of Death by Comfort

The link to lifestyle medicine adds weight to the argument for including time spent in nature as another fundamental pillar of thriving health and well-being.” Simon Matthews FACLM FASLM MHlthSc DipIBLM, psychologist and coach
