The Healing Wisdom of the Forest

Timeless Lessons of Renewal, Tranquility, and Joy

By: Anthony D. Fredericks

Narrated by: Jon Vertullo

In every civilized country, trees have been revered for their arboreal wisdom, common sense modeling, botanical philosophy, and lifelong acumen. They are, without argument, icons of counsel and direction. Trees offer commending insights for our lives . . . lives succumbed to stress, anxiety, and loss of focus. Trees are, in so many ways, individual examples of determination, vibrancy, and passion; not for a moment, but rather for a lifetime. The Healing Wisdom of Trees offers sixty-five separate essays of practical advice that can change lives for the better; a collection of scientific and psychological insights that can renew and reinvigorate for the long term.

With the bestselling author of In Search of the Old Ones, Anthony D. Fredericks, you'll venture into a redwood forest to learn about how trees show us the importance of community, you'll discover how peach trees model the power of friendship, you'll see how cherry trees exemplify the significance of calmness, and you'll learn how aspens demonstrate our need to draw strength from others. Here, trees are our mentors and our teachers.

Part travelogue, part natural history, part science, and part psychology, this absorbing book shows us how we can reinvigorate our lives, reduce everyday stress, and bring out the best in ourselves when we heed the wisdom of trees.
