The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative by Florence Williams
alargess's review against another edition
3.0
Most of the book could be summarized as “no shit.”
The Singapore section felt icky (is an authoritarian state the best example?) and I kept thinking about how the research could be used to justify wilderness therapy programs.
I still learned a bit and it reenforced why I feel better when I spend time outside.

I liked this book and enjoyed learning about the health benefits of nature. Lots of interesting studies that she cited. It gave me some inspiration for ways to de-stress and to get outside more.
There were a few too many typos and could've used slightly better editing. I also had to get a second copy because the first one I had was missing a chunk of like 15 pages (wtf?).

I greatly appreciate her main message - basically that the more time you spend in nature, the better you feel. This is one of those books where I would have preferred to read the cliff's notes or bullet points to glean the knowledge from it.
