Column | Why Harvard doctors are seeking out this natural remedy for themselves
I was skeptical of forest bathing. But then I tried it alongside eight Harvard doctors who looked to this practice with ancient roots to address modern ills.

His wife was dying, his federal job crumbling. It tested his faith — in God and Trump.
One federal worker was rejected three times from the administration’s early resignation offer. Would he blame the president he voted for?

15 teens. 300 miles. One mighty ancestral river, running free.
The removal of four dams finally made a descent of the Klamath possible. These Indigenous kayakers became the first to attempt it.

Dr. Chris Winter has worked several professional sports teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder. Could he help our writer as well?

Writing isn't what you do after you have an idea. It's how you develop an inkling into an insight.
Turning thoughts into words sharpens reasoning. What's fuzzy in your head is clear on the page.
"I'm not a writer" shouldn't stop you from writing. Writing is a tool for thinking.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
