Walking in the Woods: Go back to nature with the Japanese way of shinrin-yoku Paperback – February 11, 2021

This well written, informative look at forest bathing, which began in Japan was enjoyable to read. The Japanese author is an expert on the subject. I loved the section on "bringing Nature indoors." Plants, wood ceilings, floors and furniture if apppealing can be calming. Also, time spent in an urban park can be just as calming as time spent in a forest. Nature is one God's finest gifts to us. The research shows that time spent in nature has healing benefiits. As Kihluul Gibban says, "Trees are poems that nature writes upon the sky."

Would have liked to see the practical application material more concentrated in one place, as it is this one will refer back to after first read.

Reading about Shinrin-yoku has made me realize so much about my connection with nature. This book is full of amazing statistics & feels like a walk in the forest as you turn each page. We need this more than ever right now!

I have several books about forest bathing and while this is a good book, it's focus is on the Japanese customs and why it's significant to their culture. It's interesting, but I was hoping for a little more science - how Japan and other countries proved the positive aspects, what they're specific findings were and such. So, yes, it's a good read but more of a fluff book than research. It has beautiful photographs and is motivational to connect with nature, but if you're looking for research and science, look for a biphilia book. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: You'll find somewhat conflicting information in every book you read. It's a growing science, so lots of interpretation with the information. Regardless, it's a subject worth looking into.

Yoshifumi Miyazaki has written a nice and full overview of Japanese forest bathing. The book itself is beautiful from design to photography. The content is very good.

Lovely photos. Good overview and some history but I wish there were more details about how forest bathing is done in Japan now.

This is an indispensable reference book concerning the practice of Shinrin Yoku (Forest bathing) written by a medical doctor and researcher. It has reenforced my belief in following the practices and reaping the benefits.

Der Autor hat über vier Millionen Euro an Forschungsgeldern ausgegeben, um festzustellen, dass Spazieren im Wald tatsächlich entspannter ist als in der Großstadt und dass einen Bonsai anzuschauen besser ist, als nichts anzuschauen...

Very informative Information

It was a bit repetitive. The photos inside were amazing.

Il libro e' in inglese, per chi sa la lingua, illustrato, spiegato, in modo perfetto, per chi e' amante di questo tipo di percorso sensoriale, e' un must da avere nella libreria di casa.
