Are there any good reads about someone finding healing through nature?
I am going through my own healing journey and would love some recommendations, either fiction or non-fiction, where the author finds healing through reconnecting with nature and/or reconnecting with simple living.
“Hiking Through” by Paul Stutzman is his story of therapeutically hiking the Appalachian Trail after losing his wife to cancer.
And , don’t forget ,”Walden “ by Thoreau.

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson might be up your alley. Thru hiker on the Appalachian Trail, and I really enjoyed it.

Kind of an odd take on this theme, but H is for Hawk.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer is a gold standard for this.

Sy Montgomery’s books have a lot of this element. I’ve read the Soul of the Octopus and How to Be a Good Creature and both shared themes of lessons from nature/animals. Specifically surrounding mental health, relationships, and grief.

I haven’t yet read Sound of a Wild Snail Eating but it might fit the bill?
