Summary

David Strayer, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Utah, noticed he gets his best ideas when he’s in the wilderness for three days, so he decided to study what he calls the Three Day Effect. Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix, takes him on a hike to learn more about what this research shows. She meets up with others who we’ll be following in this series, including veteran and activist Stacy Bare and writer Eric Weiner, who would much rather be darting in and out of cafes than river canyons. Florence, herself going through a divorce, signs on for a three-day research trip in the wilderness, hoping the emotional benefits will rub off.

Thought provoking!

The whole podcast is a fascinating and interesting listening experience, with several different points of view and conclusions on the subject of what nature can do for a troubled or stressed mind. Recommended!

Great stuff

I loved the energy of this. Discussing deep stuff but with a smile. Both taught and soothes me. Worth checking out.

Great story and ideas, but told in poorly way

Amazing story but the way how the narrator deliver that was painful to listen.
Almost every sentence sounds like the question and "I was like" has been dropped almost every time.
