In today's world of technological advancements, political
polarization, the responsibilities of life and career, and the
unending world of social media chatter, many of us are stressed
out, inside all the time, and yearning for peace. After certified
horticulturalist and master pruner Karen Hugg discovered the
miraculous effects of peaceful planting on her own life, she
wondered whether these powerful benefits were limited to people who
had a garden. Can apartment dwellers heal from their stress with
either a small or no outdoor area? Is it possible to create a
soothing green space indoors with houseplants? And, for those who
are either physically unable or uninclined to grow plants, could
they benefit as well by mimicking a green space through photos and
decor? According to the growing amount of scientific research about
the healing effects of nature, the answer is yes. Leaf Your
Troubles Behind shows readers how to discover nature's healing
effects to reduce stress and increase happiness. This practical and
inspiring book puts forth the concept of "Green Leisure", an
original and approachable system for dialing into nature's healing
via seven basic destressing strategies. Composed of relatable
stories, insightful scientific research, and fun, easy-to-do
exercises for beginners and experts alike, this guide to
houseplants and their profound impact will be a refreshing oasis in
our mostly indoor world of work, school, and home where screens,
not nature, dominate our lives. Through stories, science, and
easily replicable exercises, Leaf Your Troubles Behind offers
detailed how-to advice on creating your own plant-oriented space to
unlock and maintain the power of nature at home.
