Your Brain on Nature

Here is a link for an interesting book that calls for lessening the very activity i am doing in posting this blog.  It is called Your Brain on Nature.

and the compelling point the authors make is that people are much happier outside away from  the tv, phones and computers.  the human brain outside naturally releases serotonin, a natural antidepressant, and while when we are spending time in front of screens,  dopamine is released in the brain, which can cause depression and anxiety.

that being said, peter and i have a little challenge for ourselves to eat at least one meal outside every day during the month of August.

Here is Peter at breakfast this morning....

not sure he can handle all that serotonin!
