The world is full of places that inspire and bring us joy: they
might be exceptionally beautiful, resonant with history, untouched
by civilisation or rich in memory. This is an atlas that gathers
together some of the most enchanting and reinvigorating places
around the world in order to heal and captivate, including
beautiful destinations in Greece, Italy, Japan, America, Chile and
Australia, to name but a few. We’re taken to the tops of
mountains, solitary cliffs, elegant cities and also some less
expected locations: airports, hydroelectric stations and meteorite
craters. Great travellers have always known that travelling can
broaden the mind; here we see how it can also heal it. A
Therapeutic Atlas reminds us that the world is far broader and more
inspiring than we tend to appreciate day to day. Tempting images
are combined with short essays that discuss the power of particular
places to help us with the difficulties of being human. We locate
places that are therapeutic because they coax us out of familiar
patterns of thought and liberate our minds. This is a book that can
be read when travelling, as a real-life atlas, but as importantly,
when travel is difficult, it reminds us that there is no place like
home and the sanctuary of our own bed.
