HOLA SOBER BOOKS
Tree Glee By Cheryl Rickman
Since ditching the booze I am LOVING getting out into nature, and really feeling the benefits. Of course, I talk to trees, who doesn't? But now it seems the benefits are well and truly prove. In this gorgeous book TREE GLEE: How and why trees make us feel better well-being author and positive psychologist Cheryl Rickman shares the mental and physical benefits of time spent with trees and what we can do to grow our own ‘branches of wellbeing. Trees can be an essential tool in our 'wellbeing toolkit.” While trees provide us with the necessities of life – they clean the air we breathe, fill us with awe as we walk through forests, and provide timber for the houses we live in, there are deeper reasons for our arboreal admiration that go beyond utility and beauty. Tree Glee looks at the psychology behind our fascination with trees, examining exactly how they comfort, restore and revitalise us, explores the importance of trees in our leafy suburbs and urban landscapes, and shares magical stories of remarkable ancient trees across the globe. There are wonderful photos and chapters on forest bathing, nature therapy, woodland well-being and tree mythology, conservation initiatives, and creative activities, Tree Glee explores how by deepening our appreciation and connection to trees and by celebrating and protecting them, we can flourish together.
