Ian dedicates himself to humanitarian and environmental endeavors to generate systemic change for the common good and in today's episode we talk about the simple thing we can do individually (and as a whole) to become aware and care more for the environment. These are some of the questions you'll find answers to: How does connecting with nature enhance our sense of gratitude? In what ways can gratitude and happiness be viewed as choices? What practical steps can individuals take to incorporate nature into their daily lives? How can nature-based therapeutics contribute to our overall well-being? What responsibility do we have towards nature, and how can we honor that responsibility?
