"A beautifully written, thoroughly enjoyable exposition of a major
principle of human life now supported by evidence in biology,
psychology, and medicine."
*Edward O. Wilson*
"The Nature Fix by Florence Williams is an ideal holiday pick too,
chock-full of insights about the health benefits of spending time
in nature."
*Rohan Silva, Summer Reads 2017 - The Guardian*
"... the author makes a compelling argument for time outdoors. She
takes a refreshing approach, including 'forest bathing" (the
Japanese custom of a sensory walk in the woods); ecotherapy in
Scotland; and how nature can produce the same effects as
mind-altering drugs. Thought-provoking and excellent."
*BBC Wildlife Magazine*
"... impassioned and thorough exploration of nature’s impact on our
bodies, psyches and creativity..."
*The Irish Examiner*
