The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging:

“Instead of just treating our symptoms of sickness, social prescriptions reconnect us to our sources of wellness. And instead of just addressing 'What's the matter with you?', social prescriptions address 'What maters to you?'.”

“If you asked me if I'd rather spend my days chasing beasts and foraging berries or spend them in my air-conditioned apartment with Netfliex queued up and DoorDash delivery a button away, I don't have to tell you which I'd pick. But we know it's not our screens, our salaries, and our stuff that we'll be thinking about on our deathbeds. We know that what really matters in the grand scheme of life are the connections in our environments: the joy and meaning we experience, and the relationships we build.”
