Summary
Kathy Willis: Good Nature
Revolutionary, science-based insight into the ways nature helps us be healthier. We all take for granted the idea that nature makes us feel better. But if you were a skeptic looking for hard scientific evidence, where would you look? And how would this evidence be collected in the first place? Fifteen years ago, Oxford University professor Cathy Willis came across a study that fundamentally changed her understanding of our relationship to nature. Research has shown that hospital patients recover three times faster after surgery if their view from the window reaches trees rather than bare walls. In The Good Nature, Cathy Willis takes the reader on a journey around the world and offers many surprising examples: from cedar stimulating cells in the immune system that fight cancer, to the fact that touching wood calms us (the rougher the texture, the better), to learning that the smell of roses contributes to safer driving. Even a simple houseplant on the table can bring about change, but the author also reveals a paradox: how difficult it is to impose this obvious evidence on corporations and governments. In the words of the author herself: "We now know enough to prescribe spending time in nature - in our homes, offices, gardens or during a walk. No matter how small these actions are, they have the potential to bring enormous health benefits. Nature is much more important than something that is useful for our health. It is not a consumable. It is an inseparable part of us."
