Gave up on it because I just wasn't finding the arguments or evidence compelling. Too much hand-waving and "studies have shown...". I suspected as much when I bought it; sadly I was right. ( ) Following up Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv has written a book for those of us who have grown up and remember what it was like to freely roam outdoors, unsupervised, until the street lamps came on. Somehow in the decades since our own childhoods we seem to have forgotten how important a connection to nature is. Using a basis of solid research, Louv shows exactly why we still need this connection. He breaks down the studies, augments them with personal experience, and describes exactly how nature can aid us physically, emotionally, psychologically, socially, and even economically. At my reading the book is already a few years old, so some of the research may already be outdted, but the message is still an important one. Now excuse me while I go for a walk in the woods. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In this book the author argues that a strong connection to nature is essential for human health. Supported by research, anecdotal evidence, and personal stories, the author shows how tapping into the restorative powers of the natural world can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds. He outlines seven precepts he calls the "Nature Principle", which include balancing technology excess with time in nature; a mind/body/nature connection, which he calls "vitamin N," that enhances physical and mental health; expanding our sense of community to include all living things; and purposefully developing a spiritual, psychological, physical attachment to a region and its natural history. The book presents examples of these precepts, from studies of how exposure to a common soil bacteria increases production of serotonin in the brain to designing shopping malls inspired by termite mounds.
