It is an unhurried, meditative walk through woodland, spending a good part of a day exploring a forest path with all your senses rather than covering ground. Miyazaki, a researcher in the field, sets out both the practice and the science that has grown up around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clear introduction to shinrin-yoku, its origins and how to actually do it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a researcher who has studied the practice, so the claims come with their evidence attached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the research into how time among trees is associated with lower stress and calmer physiological measures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e192-page paperback, small enough to take with you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePure Standard\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by one of the researchers, not a lifestyle writer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Miyazaki studies shinrin-yoku, so the book is careful about what the evidence shows and where it stops.
