"When you're in beautiful nature, it can make people feel small, but small in a good way - like you're part of something bigger." - Marc Berman
Here's something that will blow your mind: environmental psychologist Marc Berman discovered that simply walking through an indoor conservatory versus an indoor mall literally changes what you think about. People in nature started thinking about others. People in the mall? Only themselves. It's not just coincidence - it's your brain responding to your environment in ways you never realized. With depression rates skyrocketing 60% in the past decade and our phones hijacking our attention, Marc's research reveals something profound: nature isn't just pretty to look at, it's rewiring your neural pathways back to connection, empathy, and peace.
This isn't about becoming a wilderness expert or moving to the mountains. Marc breaks down the science behind "forest bathing" - a practice that's helping people break free from the anxiety spiral that modern life creates. You'll discover why your physical environment has more control over your thoughts than you ever imagined, and how something as simple as changing where you take your daily walk can shift you from self-obsessed worry to feeling genuinely connected to something larger than yourself. If you've been caught in the endless loop of comparison and mental exhaustion, this conversation offers a surprisingly accessible path back to clarity.
