<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When we're grieving, we need relief from our pain. Today we often turn to technology for distraction when what we really need is the opposite: generous doses of nature. Studies show that time spent outdoors lowers blood pressure, eases depression and anxiety, bolsters the immune system, lessens stress, and even makes us more compassionate. This guide to the tonic of nature explores why engaging with the natural world is so effective at helping reconcile grief. It also offers suggestions for bringing short bursts of nature time (indoors and outdoors) into your everyday life as well as tips for actively mourning in nature. This book is your shortcut to hope and healing...the natural way.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt</b> is a noted author, educator, and grief counselor.
