I loved this book. Heartfelt, no punches pulled, yet no sympathy requested either overtly or subtly. Practical, lived experience of how the author has used the natural world to help with her mental wellbeing - a brilliant guide for anyone looking for something to actively utilise in their own pursuit of equanimity.
Read it. Gift it to loved ones (I have). You won't be disappointed.

It was interesting and a good introduction to themes around nature and health and wellbeing. It brushed over some important themes around access to nature and influencing factors such as class and race etc. Although this is a big topic so wouldn’t have expected to go into detail here. Just would have been nice if this was highlighted more throughout!
