  • Summary

  • In today's fast-paced world, most people are familiar with feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. But a remarkable resource exists to ease these problems – nature.

    BBC Studios Natural History Unit and environmental psychologist Alex Smalley have teamed up to create immersive natural soundscapes that will help you unlock this incredible healing potential.

    Whether it’s learning to tap into the awe-inspiring power of thunderstorms or replenishing your attention with the sound of the rainforest, each soundscape will help to unlock mental health benefits that are grounded in academic research.

    This series reveals the science behind how listening to the natural world can help tired minds recover, boost feelings of positivity, and even make us kinder to the people around us. Cutting-edge studies have found that virtual encounters with nature provide your brain with many of the same benefits as actually being there.

    The evidence is clear: we can all learn to benefit from nature. We simply have to listen.

    Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.
