Review; The Little Book of Forest Bathing: Discovering the Japanese Art of Self-Care by Andrews McMeel Publishing

Earlier this year I recieved an ARC of the book The Little Book of Forest Bathing: Discovering the Japanese Art of Self-Care by Andrews McMeel Publishing through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review.

Description from Goodreads
Discover the Japanese mindfulness practice of Shinrin-yoku—and the emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits of slowing down and taking in the natural world.

What’s an easy way to lower your blood pressure, combat anxiety and depression, and boost your immune system? Shinrin-yoku. The Little Book of Forest Bathing is all about finding strength, peace, and beauty in your surroundings. Drawing on recent research, Forest Bathing maps out the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of immersing yourself in natural surroundings. It then goes on to provide a how-to guide to forest bathing, with methods ranging from hiking to traditional meditation to literal tree hugging. Interspersed in these informational tidbits are brilliant photos, lush illustrations, sensual typography, poem excerpts, and forest-related quotes. Forest Bathing is perfect for anyone aspiring to slow down, be more mindful, and connect with something greater.

My Thoughts on the Book
It's a cute, compact and lightweight introduction to forest bathing. I loved the quotes and photos in it, but wished it had a bit more information.
