The philosopher Henry David Thoreau believed that,
An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Go out in the early morning for a run or a brisk walk to see the sunrise…Come home refreshed and ready for the rest of the day.
I have found that I do feel better when I spend time outside, whether at my local park or botanical garden. This book will encourage me to keep those connections going and may do the same for you.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

Something to do at least once in your life is to sleep in a hammock outside on a summer night, or just take a short evening nap before you head to bed. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the wind rustling the leaves of the trees and let yourself drift off into beautiful dreams.
