Author Conversations: An Evening with Dr. Marc Berman featuring "Nature and the Mind"

Author Conversations: An Evening with Dr. Marc Berman featuring "Nature and the Mind"

Presented by Herm Triezenberg and Elizabeth Mostrom Health and Wellness: Author Conversations

The positive effects of nature don’t just end at the individual; contact with nature can make people more caring towards one another, promote economic and racial justice, encourage people to care more for the environment, and more. A groundbreaking guide on why and how nature is good for our brains and bodies, Nature and the Mind gives us a window into fundamental aspects of our psychology and physiology that can be improved through interactions with nature.

Marc Berman will be joined in conversation with Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy Board member Terrie Taylor. Marc Berman is the world’s leading environmental neuroscientist, and founder and director of the Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Chicago.
