Description
What’s an easy way to lower your blood pressure, combat anxiety and depression, and boost your immune system? Shinrin-yoku. The Little Book of Forest Bathing is all about finding strength, peace, and beauty in your surroundings. Drawing on recent research, Forest Bathing maps out the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of immersing yourself in natural surroundings. It then goes on to provide a how-to guide to forest bathing, with methods ranging from hiking to traditional meditation to literal tree hugging. Interspersed in these informational tidbits are brilliant photos, lush illustrations, sensual typography, poem excerpts, and forest-related quotes. Forest Bathing is perfect for anyone aspiring to slow down, be more mindful, and connect with something greater.

A beautiful book about trees, forests and the world that waits for us in them. I felt myself immersed in a spiritual trip with all of the photos and quotes included, although there could have been more of the former. A spiritual journey made book!
Full review to be published.

This book offers encouragement to step outside and to take a break from our busy, digital lives. It's a tribute to the outdoors and includes powerful quotes and beautiful images which entice the reader to engage with the outdoors. As someone who is an avid hiker and also passionate about mindfulness, I loved this book and found myself excitedly saying "yes!" to the quotes and pictures. The target audience of this book is probably people who already have a general familiarity with self care and an interest in the outdoors.

The author offers Forest Bathing techniques for Positive Mental Health, Positive Physical Health as well as deep breathing techniques while in the frost and other ways to bond with nature.
Thank you to the publishers for an ARC of this book.

One might think that this is a long read and you get to know a lot about forest bathing. Well, you don't, it is a little book. :) It is a collection of quotes, thoughts, and facts about forest and forest bathing. There are also practical information inside.
I like the photographs and quotes in this book. It's suitable for a gift. But I think more about forest bathing and fewer quotes would be better.
