Description
Rewild Your Mind shows you how to connect with nature to be happier, healthier and more at peace with the world around you.
Packed with wilderness skills and traditional crafts - from fixing a hammock in the woods and foraging for hedgerow medicine to finding moments of 'wild' in the everyday - this unique book enables readers to boost their wellbeing through getting outside. It is an invitation to reset, recharge and 'rewild' yourself.
Weaved through the book is Nick Goldsmith's personal story of using nature to aid his recovery from PTSD. After several tours serving as a Royal Marine Commando in Afghanistan, Nick was left in a dark and desperate place. He tried conventional therapies but found true solace amongst nature, and now enables others to do the same.
