Summary
The way we interact with the world around us affects our health and well-being more than we realize. In today's world, it's often too easy to forget about the natural world sitting right outside our window. We mainly live our lives surrounded by electronics, concrete walls, glass, and artificial light. This growing disconnection with nature can lead to physical as well as mental stress, from depression and fatigue to attention disorders and obesity. But by awakening a natural connection to the environment around us, we can move beyond simply using nature and into a true partnership with it.
