The Nature Fix

Honestly, if all this book accomplished was getting me outside for a walk, it did its job. The author presents a range of research and experiments, introducing various benefits of various ‘doses' of nature, while being careful to be skeptical of “emerging evidence”. What few science/sociology/psychology based non-fiction books I've read lead me to reserve judgement as there's just as much chance that further research will complicate with nuance, debunk or hopefully verify what is set out in works like this, as the years pass (this one is from 2017). I enjoyed the conversational tone, though at times it did make it feel like a series of magazine article interviews rather than a book (pro or con?). As with most non-fiction I read, I'm glad it exists for the ideas it suggests and the possible plans for the future it lays out in its conclusion. My rural childhood had me convinced long ago of the benefits of nature, but in a hectic work period, when I forget to go out and enjoy my now slightly less urban neighborhood, this was an excellent reminder.
