The Biophilia Effect: A Scientific and Spiritual Exploration of the Healing Bond Between Humans and Nature

This is one of the BEST books I've read on the subject of biophilia, forest bathing and the power of Nature. I simply could not put it down. I took multiple notes as I read and I plan to reread sections that really stood out for me. I like that this book was the perfect blend of science, personalized stories plus step-by-step directions for various activities and meditations related to the topics. The author's style is easy to read, and his knowledge of the topics he writes about it quite impressive. I have a degree in Plant Science, plus I teach meditation and Yoga. This author is authentic and he writes from his heart and his mind. I highly recommend this book and would definitely read others by this author.

This is a great book. It reveals that science has confirmed with solid evidence what most people already know, namely, the natural world provides extraordinary healing power. From the time that I could walk, I have gone into the natural world for healing and renewal. It is where I feel most safe and truly alive. Arvay does a great job of helping us to understand what is going on.

Really great book, interesting read, despite the amazon app kept crashing and it refused to load into my audible app. Not the author's fault so I didn't take off any stars for that. This book kept me interested, it was well written, and kept the pace, so I didn't feel lost or buried in the details. I would recommend this book.

Biophilia = connecting to nature. It's an interesting subject with science to back it up. The book is informative and worth the read.

It's so wonderful that these feelings and intuitive sensations we get in nature now have been scientifically proven. I found the book excitingly fascinating.

Great read for any biophiliac or wanna be. Love the applicable concepts given. A mix of science, story-telling, and suggestion.

I appreciate the data backdrop of suggestions on how to optimize times in nature for greatest impact on wellbeing. Very useful.

Good book but a bit repetitive.

I think overall it’s a good purchase for everyone that’s interested in biophilia backed up by science. I love that the author added references and links to the actual scientific papers — that way I can go and read up on the studies myself without having to research. Also there are exercises spread across the book for whoever wants to try them (I haven’t and not sure I will). While I think this book is worthy to purchase, I feel it to be quite repetitive. I think the information could have been narrowed down to 1 chapter + the exercises and the references. But thats my subjective viewpoint — when I read these kind of books I prefer on point and compact information without page fillers. It’s a matter of taste.

It’s an awesome book ! So easy to Connect with and exactly what I thought it would be!

Great read
