In Japan, “forest bathing”, or “shinrin-yoku” in Japanese, has long been recognized as a legitimate treatment for stress and to promote good health.
After Ikigai, The Ikigai Journey and A Geek in Japan, “Forest Bathing” dives into the history, philosophy and science-backed results of this Japanese way of living, that we should all know about in my opinion!
This Japanese Forest Bathing book provides a fantastic introduction to a topic that you might have heard about in the news, but probably don’t know a lot about.
Each chapter gives a great overview of the topic in easy-to-read, yet thorough descriptions of all the concepts that you could find a summary of in this article on the forest bathing benefits and a dive into the extensive forest bathing research.
