‘A beautiful collaboration that brings together diverse perspectives…a common passion and sense of beauty unites the book and transcends any expectations.’
—BOOKLIST
A diverse array of people—psychologists and poets, biologists and artists, a Buddhist teacher and a rock musician— share personal stories that reveal a common theme: when we pay conscious, careful attention to our wider world, we strengthen our core humanity. This practice of natural history leads to greater physical, psychological, and social health for individuals and communities.
Nature, Love, Medicine features writers with varied backgrounds and talents. Notable contributors range from conservationist and author Brooke Williams and award–winning author Elisabeth Tova Bailey to Vietnamese Buddhist monk and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh and internationally known poet Jane Hirshfield.
