I really enjoyed learning about forest bathing’s deeper origins beyond its modern Japanese development, and the author explains the science behind nature’s health benefits in an accessible way that doesn’t overwhelm.
I liked the suggestions for bringing forest elements into everyday life - incorporating specific plants indoors, creating balcony nature spaces, and mindfully engaging with urban trees and parks.
Although there was a large focus on North American locations and resources. It’ll be really helpful for US and Canadian readers, but large sections felt irrelevant and I found myself skipping through detailed descriptions of forests and programs I’ll never access.
Overall, it’s a solid introduction that bridges ancient wisdom with modern science, though international readers will need to cherry-pick the universal advice from the location-specific content.
