Publisher's Synopsis
Attention deficit is the disorder of our times. What if a simple but powerful solution could be found on our doorstep?
With so many things vying for our attention, we're suffering a global epidemic of distraction. Renowned professor of psychology Dr Marc Berman may have found a cure, through environmental neuroscience and the art of attention restoration.
What if we knew how to harness attention restoration for our brain health and focus, to help us become calmer, more productive, less distracted? If modern life is leaving you feeling drained, depleted, isolated or depressed, in Nature and the Mind, Dr Berman identifies the essential elements of a 'nature prescription' that can inspire happiness and hope, renew energy and attention, and spur cooperation and connection.
Nature and The Mind explains how nature holds the key to our cognitive performance and mental resilience, offering clear, practical tools for incorporating this knowledge into your immediate environment and practice, to reap the benefits for your mental clarity and physical calm. With practical check ins at the end of each chapter, we are gifted an accessible toolkit for immediately applying the neuroscience in our daily lives.
Nature and The Mind is an authoritative and groundbreaking book, the first of its kind to reveal the new science behind why exactly we need nature to enhance our focus and attention, strengthening our awareness of how humans are intertwined with our environment in myriad powerful ways.
