This is a beautifully written book, full of amazing pictures. Forest Bathing is basically being in a forest, walking through the trees, enjoying the beauty and healing quality of nature. I strongly believe in the healing nature of trees. For me, trees are a symbol of strength, stability and support. I was lucky enough to live in an area of England where forests and wooded areas were plentiful and I always enjoyed walking through these areas, especially on my own. The walks left me feeling less stressed, relaxed and able to face the next challenge.

Very basic introduction to the forest bathing. Explains to the reader the health benefits in a no nonsense clinical way. The history of this practice in Japan is also explained.

A much need reminder to lift your head from your phone. To turn off the tv. To take time to connect with nature to rest yourself.

Beautifully written and photographed. Shinrin Yoku is a little peace of art in book form. For anyone in need of deep stress relief, or just a simple walk in the woods. This book has something for all levels and types of hikers and wanders.

This file type doesn't work on Kindle. I tried using an alternative available in the Kindle App store but it still wouldn't open. Adobe Digital Editions isn't an option.

A beautiful book about the natural therapy of nature. Simple advice from taking a slow walk in the woods to the actual science behind it all.
