The Ultimate Biophilic Summer Reading List

This week, Monica and Jennifer are sharing their top picks for the ultimate biophilic summer reading list! Whether you’re just starting out on your biophilic journey or are a seasoned pro looking to expand your knowledge, there is something for everyone to enjoy (ideally poolside, beachside, or on your favorite park bench). Themes include connecting to nature through mindful walking (no surprise there!), working to combat the climate crisis through thoughtful action, and tips for simply slowing down in a fast-paced world.
