About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Shinrin-Yoku by Dr Qing Li, read by Ramon Tikaram.
Shinrin = Forest
Yoku = Bathing
Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing, is the practice of spending time in the forest for better health, happiness and a sense of calm. A pillar of Japanese culture for decades, Shinrin-Yoku is a way to reconnect with nature, from walking mindfully in the woods, to a break in your local park, to walking barefoot on your lawn.
Forest Medicine expert Dr Qing Li's research has proven that spending time around trees (even filling your home with house plants and vaporising essential tree oils) can reduce blood pressure, lower stress, boost energy, boost immune system and even help you to lose weight. Along with his years of groundbreaking research and anecdotes on the life-changing power of trees, Dr Li provides here the practical ways for you to try Shinrin-Yoku for yourself.

Harsh sounding narrator
I was looking forward to listening to this book as a way of relaxing and winding down before bed...but I'm returning it as the author has a harsh sounding voice that isn't right for this type of book. Such a shame.

a compilation of random thoughts
while there is some useful information here on the benefits of forest bathing, this is largely a compilation of random thoughts and data on nature and forests. I struggled to finish the book.
