The groundbreaking new book showing how nature enhances our powers of attention and shapes brain development, from the founder of the field of environmental neuroscience.

What if we could harness the power of nature to become calmer, more focused and less distracted?

With so many things vying for our attention in modern life, we’re suffering a global epidemic of distraction, leaving us feeling drained, depleted and isolated. Renowned professor of psychology Dr Marc Berman offers a groundbreaking solution through environmental neuroscience and the art of attention restoration.

In Nature and the Mind, Dr Berman identifies the essential elements of a 'nature prescription' that can improve out cognitive performance and mental resilience, sharing life-altering findings such as:
• Having just eleven more trees on your street is related to decreases in cardio-metabolic disorders like stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
• Short walks in nature can improve attention by almost 20 percent and decrease depression symptoms.
• More green space around schools and homes is related to better school performance, reduced crime and improved working memory.

Featuring clear, practical solutions that you can apply to your daily life, no matter where you live, Nature and the Mind reveals how nature is the key to boosting your energy, restoring attention, changing your mood, and improving your mental and physical health.
