Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin 109 — Reclaim Your Natural Wild Side in a World That Tries to Keep You Tame with Filmaker/Author Craig Foster
How much time do you spend in nature? Most of us spend far more time indoors than outdoors. And we're more likely to be surrounded by electronics than trees.
Craig Foster, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind My Octopus Teacher, says we've lost touch with our wild side. Not only is that bad for our psychological well-being, but it's harmful to the ecosystem. He's written a book called Amphibious Soul, and he's now encouraging all of us to get in touch with our wild side again. Some of the things he shares are how to rewild ourselves, how to really learn about nature, and how to use nature to reinvigorate our lives.
