Nature Fix
Florence Williams
America
Off-shot questions
I nature really that special?
Gets us away from daily cares
away from our phones/internet
affects our attention span
provides a new mindset
identical to playing music/visiting museum
Divers attention, is pleasant and social
Music, friends + culture also make us happy
Japan
Forest Bathing
Open senses to the woods
Smell
.
Sight
.
Sound
Birds / bugs / animals / water
Touch
Plants/the experience of plants. Being surrounded.
Taste
Tea
The lasting effect
3 days
of hiking in the woods =
7 days
Month
still sees a benefit but it decreases over time.
1 hour is good (in like a park) but lasts shorter
Possible Benefit
Essential Oils of trees
Or soil compounds
Preventative medicine
Everything is relative to one another
Consider the bigger picture and take all variables/surroundings into account
But the Americans did a lot more hypothesizing
May be just the authors lack of IDK enthusiasm fro the Japanese version
Personal bias is pretty heavy
Not a lot of detail in general on Japanese version
VS
Get rid of it
Fix it immediately.
What can nature do for us? Take advantage of surrounding more. Like more disconnected. Used to only improve lives.
I myself have a very american mindset as I am reading the book for my own personal benefit to increase my productivity

What to do

.
Visit a park once a week

Doing it in winter is also helpful (outside)
Not as enjoyable but still useful.
.
Travel to a natural area once a month
Like to hike? Maybe.
Walk under trees vs fields
Quiet place
Water is good
