AWEsome

I learned this book several years ago in my Master's training. Here I am many years forward and continue to reference this book for inspiration. I have incorporated Ecopsychology within my practice years before I ever heard of the phrase Ecotherapy. I enjoy this book as a grounding agent and as a tool to reinspire my work with children. Listen for the benefit of learning what the benefits of outdoors are on our everyday life and how she can impact wellness. Enjoy.

Crucial

The point is repeating, but necessary. This book will remind you of your disconnection with nature, make you more present as to protecting it; and if you have children, want to protect their ability to connect with nature.

Good ain’t bad

It wasn’t very captivating for me though I did enjoy it quite a bit. Pretty good.

A must read

A wonderful book, with lots of data and reasoning! A must read for every parent!

Inspirational!

Great context and story telling. Highly recommended if you are trying to understand the importance of nature.
