The nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic. Without engaging with natural environments, our brains cease to work well. Exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.

Just finished reading "A Life on Our Planet" by Sir David Attenborough. I enjoyed his vision for the future. Any recommendations for must-reads?
