Publisher's Summary

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 21st century will be the century of human restoration in the natural world.

Great book that summarizes all the issues

There are so many arguments for bringing more nature into our lives, and so many great ideas for doing so...and this book does a great job of touching on most of them. A must read. Then, get active and change the world for the better!! :)

last child in the woods but for adults

was basically the same book as "last child in the woods" but saying nature is also great for adults and treating may issues faced but a denatured society. If you have read one you have read the other.
