An intrepid investigation into nature’s restorative benefits by Florence Williams

 

On the final day of KBOO's Winter Membership Drive Paul Roland welcomes Florence Williams to the studio to discuss her new book The Nature Fix.  

"For centuries, poets and philosophers extolled the benefits of a walk in the woods: Beethoven drew inspiration from rocks and trees; Wordsworth composed while tromping over the heath; and Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while visiting a park. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams set out to uncover the science behind nature’s positive effects on the brain."
