“The Well Gardened Mind” by Sue Stuart-Smith explores the positive impact of gardening on mental health. Combining personal stories and research, the author, a psychiatrist and gardener, highlights the therapeutic benefits of spending time in nature, particularly in gardens, offering an inspiring and accessible perspective.
A recent study revealed that nature enhances authenticity through mechanisms such as self-esteem, basic needs satisfaction, mindfulness, and positive affect. Self-esteem and autonomy were identified as significant factors. Exposure to nature improves psychological well-being, leading to increased life satisfaction, meaning, and decreased depression, anxiety, and stress. Therefore, preserving nature is crucial for mental well-being.
