Shinrin-Yoku is the practice of walking slowly through a forest, without urgency, during the morning, afternoon, or all day. The phrase initially grew as a promotional campaign so that people visited Japan's beautiful forests. However, soon various scientists began to study the physiological and psychological benefits of nature and forests. The greater understanding that we feel better when we surround ourselves with nature has inspired this book.
