About this ebook

Nature Strolls: The Science and Joy of Short Walks in the Natural World reveals how brief, daily walks outdoors can profoundly enhance mental clarity, physical health, and ecological connection. Bridging environmental psychology and exercise physiology, the book dismantles the myth that meaningful nature engagement requires grand efforts, showing instead that 15-minute strolls reduce cortisol levels by 15%, boost creativity, and strengthen immune function through exposure to phytoncides—chemicals emitted by trees.

It highlights studies on Attention Restoration Theory, explaining how natural settings refresh overstimulated minds, while practical tips make these benefits accessible to urban dwellers, caregivers, and those with mobility challenges.
The book’s strength lies in merging science with actionable steps, organized into three pillars: mental renewal, physical vitality, and environmental stewardship.

Chapters progress from debunking wellness myths to offering strategies like identifying urban biodiversity or adapting walks to seasonal constraints. Unlike fitness guides prioritizing intensity, Nature Strolls champions moderation, framing walks as sustainable acts of self-care and civic responsibility. By integrating peer-reviewed research with relatable anecdotes, it appeals to eco-conscious readers seeking realistic ways to combat sedentary lifestyles and ecological disconnection—one revitalizing step at a time.
