Sobre este episódio

<p>We've known intuitively for centuries that spending time in nature can give us a boost. But it’s only recently that scientists have begun to identify exactly what it is about the outdoors that has such a powerful effect on our mood and our minds. This week, psychologist <a href="https://voices.uchicago.edu/bermanlab/berman/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marc Berman</a> explores how spending time in nature can actually undo some of the harmful effects of our modern lives.</p> <p><i>Do you have follow-up questions, comments, or stories about nature's effect on the mind after listening to this episode?
