Forest and health

A topic with many facets and dimensions

Many of us think about our lifestyle and want to change it in order to protect our environment and nature. These positive feelings associated with nature, naturalness and nature conservation can be an important motivation for a change in one’s lifestyle towards a sustainable society. Our health-conscious behaviour comes much easier if we approach it with fun, joy and pleasure. This is exactly what nature, and the forest in particular, enables us to do.

Talking about the health benefits of being in the forest has many facets and dimensions. It is an excellent activity to counter growing psychological stress and increasing lifestyle related diseases. Being in the forest satisfies our ever-increasing longing for nature and naturalness in the sense of a simpler, slower, less and therefore more beautiful life. Our largest natural space is an important source of meaning.

Very beautifully made and cleverly written book on the trending topic of "forest and health". I was particularly interested in the health-promoting effects of terpenes, which are explained here in a scientific (but easy to understand) way. Overall, a very informative, factual book that makes you want to spend more time in the forest. It is also attractively and qualitatively designed, and you just enjoy picking it up.
