This Is Your Brain On Nature

Five years ago Outside Magazine ran an award winning cover story by Michael Roberts about Blue Mind called "This Is Your Brain On Nature".

Since then we've held seven annual summits, given more than 300 presentations around the world and the bestselling book Blue Mind has been translated into a dozen langauges and formats, jump-starting a global conversation about the restorative qualities of time spent in nature and the true value of healthy, wet & wild places.

These are some beautiful images, writing and interviews.
