“I saw this little flower as I was coming back from my class…and it really gave me a strong sense of hope.”
Twentieth Century German social psychologist Erich Fromm first advanced the notion that humans hold an inborn connection to
nature.
Later, it was popularized by biologist E.O. Wilson as “the urge to
affiliate with other forms of life.” In the ensuing years, support for
the positive effects of nature has gained considerable traction,
grounded in a growing body of research. In recent weeks, at least four
new studies have emerged adding more validity to what science repeatedly
has revealed: being around nature is good for us. The latest research
shows that interacting with nature makes the brain stronger and soothes
the psyche.
