    About this audiobook

    The definitive guide to the therapeutic Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or the art and science of how trees can promote health and happiness

    Notice how a tree sways in the wind. Run your hands over its bark. Take in its citrusy scent. As a society we suffer from nature deficit disorder, but studies have shown that spending mindful, intentional time around trees—what the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing—can promote health and happiness.

    In this beautiful book—featuring more than 100 color photographs from forests around the world, including the forest therapy trails that criss-cross Japan—Dr. Qing Li, the world's foremost expert in forest medicine, shows how forest bathing can reduce your stress levels and blood pressure, strengthen your immune and cardiovascular systems, boost your energy, mood, creativity, and concentration, and even help you lose weight and live longer.

    Once you've discovered the healing power of trees, you can lose yourself in the beauty of your surroundings, leave everyday stress behind, and reach a place of greater calm and wellness.

      What this book says is that walking in the forest ( or going to parks and being near plants in general ) is scientifically proven to be good for us. It boosts the immune system, uplifts mood, lowers blood pressure and shortens patient recovery time. So how to apply in our lives? 1)Two hours per day in the forest/park or even once a week. 2) Grow indoor plants at home. 3) Listen to forest music or flowing water. 4) Use wood essential oils for aromatherapy (the author's favorite while working is hinoki). 5.) Exercise outdoors.
