Publisher Description
The Nature Principle presents a compelling case that a conscious reconnection to nature can make us whole again and that the future will belong to nature-smart individuals, families, businesses, and communities. Supported by evidence from emerging empirical and theoretical research and eye-opening anecdotes, Louv shows that when we tap into the restorative powers of the natural world we can boost mental acuity and creativity, heal illness, increase immunity, broaden our compassion, and strengthen human bonds. As he says in his introduction, The Nature Principle is “about the power of living in nature—not with it, but in it. The twenty-first century will be the century of human restoration in the natural world.”

“Until the end of the book, when Louv spends far too many pages re-stating what he’d already illustrated in the book (have I mentioned before that I hate summaries in most books?), this book is an engaging read and provides so many new avenues for me to consider for jobs, places to live, things to think about when I’m cooped inside–or outside on a hike. Louv uses a combination of personal anecdotes and research, which makes the book more approachable, and encourages the idea that adults could and should be out in nature more often–a principle I agree with, but I would also love to know more of what the other side thinks.”
