Do you worry that you don't notice the birds in the trees any more? That you seldom feel the grass under your feet or the wind in your hair? That the most vivid colours in your life come from a screen? When was the last time you sat on a beach and let the sand run between your toes? Followed footpaths across rich green meadows, inhaling the heavy scent of hawthorn hedges around their perimeter? Got lost in a wood at dusk and felt just a little bit scared? Do you check the weather in an app, or by the way it feels on your skin? Get ready for a rethink! If you want to live in harmony with nature *and* technology and create a calmer, more balanced, lifestyle for you and your family, this book is for you. It's all about getting in touch with nature without turning off your phone. This book explains Biophilia - the hidden programme which has been running in the background of our lives since the world began, and offers 50 practical tips on how to increase your digital wellbeing. Experiment with them to find out which activities fit best with your personal lifestyle. It's not too late to reconnect with nature. Read this book to find out how. Dr Sue Thomas, former Professor of New Media with thirty years' experience in internet research, explains how technology connects us to the natural world. See also her earlier book 'Technobiophilia: nature and cyberspace' (2013), an in-depth study of metaphors of nature online. https: //amzn.to/43zOxvK Howard Rheingold, US-based critic, writer and teacher, gave 5 stars to 'Nature and Wellbeing in the Digital Age' . He writes: "Humans are addicted to apps & devices engineered to attract & distract our attention, but we also are soothed by nature. We're all conflicted about the amount of time we spend online, looking at our phones, and most people I know are increasingly ambivalent. So much of the critical writing about this dilemma is about weaning yourself, logging off. I like Thomas' book because it strives for a middle ground -- how to appreciate the natural world as a kind of antidote to the techno-trance".
