On first glance this is a quirky little book about something outside the norm. Digging in it is so much more--it's a fantastic look at the importance of being in nature.

This book is incredibly beautiful and would make a great gift or coffee table book for anyone who loves nature. I would recommend this book for people who are stuck inside all day without access to nature!

This book doesn't have much actual information in it. It is mostly quotes and poems and although beautiful, isn't actually very helpful if you want to learn about the benefits of forest bathing.

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

I share the belief that humans have an innate need to connect with nature regularly. Forest bathing provides experiences and research studies to show the positive benefits to the body, mind and spirit after a person spends time in this environment.

"The Little Book of Forest Bathing," by Andrews McMeel Publishing is a good introduction to the health benefits and Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or "Forest Bathing," in English. This "little book" outlines recent research that shows forest bathing's ability to lower blood pressure, combat mental illness like depression and anxiety and even boost your immune system.

The book also has a guide to how to forest bathe on your own. It is an invitation to get outdoors and practice being present to all that surrounds you in its splendid environs.

I received this as an eBook from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the title. I did not receive any compensation from either company. The opinions expressed herein are completely my own.

The Little Book of Forest Bathing is a book that inspires readers to immerse themselves in nature. It's a beautiful little book filled with beautiful quotes and imagery which presented the concept of forest bathing and its benefits in an approachable manner that made me want to give it a try and learn more. Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I was expecting this book to have a bit more substance. I thought it'd either be a guide to forest bathing, or a book about the benefits of forest bathing (there are many). The book is full of quotes and images. The quotes were pretty meh, but the images were absolutely beautiful. Seeing as there is still a positive effect on your health when you look at pictures (there are studies on this), I'd still recommend the book, especially if you don't have access to actual forests. I'd suggest buying this as a coffee table book.

More quotes and imagery than information. This is great for a quick go through. There are books that are more information based. It gets you in the space to be in forest bathing.

One might think that this is a long read and you get to know a lot about forest bathing. Well, you don't, it is a little book. :) It is a collection of quotes, thoughts, and facts about forest and forest bathing. There are also practical information inside.

I like the photographs and quotes in this book. It's suitable for a gift. But I think more about forest bathing and fewer quotes would be better.

The Little Book of Forest Bathing by Andrews McMeel Publishing is a quick guide of the benefits of being part of nature, and how Forest Bathing works. Within this guide is a series of nature related quotes, poems and gorgeous photography of nature. The guide focused a bit too much on the quotes and poems to me, but does provide the basics when it comes to forest bathing.

This is such a nice little book. Very calming and enjoyable. Definitely worth a read. My only issue was that it did not come in kindle format which would have made it an easier read.

This book brought to mind several I've read and enjoyed lately - The Little Book of Hygge, The Art of Nichi, etc. - and I was excited to dive in. Unfortunately I had technical difficulties downloading the title. The manuscript was illegible.

It's a cute, compact and lightweight introduction to forest bathing. I loved the quotes and photos in it, but wished it had a bit more information.

A book that encourages us to take a break from our daily olives head out to the forest surround ourselves with the trees the peace the healing power.A lovely thoughtful book.#netgalley # Andrew Mceel

This compact book introduces the reader to the Japanese art of self-care. The premise of this book is that exposure to the forest can help boost our overall well-being. The author offers Forest Bathing techniques for Positive Mental Health, Positive Physical Health as well as deep breathing techniques while in the frost and other ways to bond with nature.

Thank you to the publishers for an ARC of this book.

The concept of forest bathing is something that I'm relatively new to, so I was excited to read this book in the hopes of discovering more about it. Unfortunately, this is a very, very basic guide that's filled with way more photos, poems, and quotes than actual details about forest bathing. I was able to read through all of it in less than 30 minutes.

The Little Book of Forest Bathing is very beautiful and would make an excellent coffee table book or gift for your favorite nature lover. You'll also learn a bit about the mental and physical health benefits of forest bathing (although there's nothing here that you can't find by reading a couple of online articles). Finally, the book does go into greater detail about how to partake of forest bathing, but you'll have to wait until close to the end to get this info. And, again, it wasn't anything I didn't already know.

If you like books filled with inspirational quotes and nature pictures, this is a good choice. If you know absolutely nothing about forest bathing and prefer a book to online research, this will also be suitable. Otherwise, you're not likely to get a whole lot out of this book, aside from appreciating how pretty it is.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.

This book offers encouragement to step outside and to take a break from our busy, digital lives. It's a tribute to the outdoors and includes powerful quotes and beautiful images which entice the reader to engage with the outdoors. As someone who is an avid hiker and also passionate about mindfulness, I loved this book and found myself excitedly saying "yes!" to the quotes and pictures. The target audience of this book is probably people who already have a general familiarity with self care and an interest in the outdoors.

The Little Book of Forest Bathing would make a nice coffee table book or gift. There were nice pictures and quotes.

A cute coffee table book with nature quotes, but not much of a primer for forest bathing. Not quite what I was hoping for.

This reminds me of the posters we used to buy back in the late 1960’s early 1970’s. Lots of wise words from famous people superimposed on tranquil picture of the natural world. We liked them then so why not now? Maybe it’s just been done before. However, if your not a child of the 1960’s it’s worth a look. More of a coffee table book than a serious read.

A beautiful book about trees, forests and the world that waits for us in them. I felt myself immersed in a spiritual trip with all of the photos and quotes included, although there could have been more of the former. A spiritual journey made book!

Full review to be published.
