Some of us are quietly taken apart by them - and are told, for years, that the problem is our personality.It is not. Human nervous systems vary in how much environmental input they can process before they overload, and almost the entire modern world is built by, and for, the people at one end of that range.This book is for the other end.It sets out what the research actually shows - forest air and immune function, morning light and sleep, why a long sightline does something a beautiful courtyard cannot - and it is honest about the limits.Then it gets practical: the daily practices, the food, the silence, a thirty-day programme, and an unsentimental account of what moving to a small place actually costs, including the parts nobody tells you.You are not broken.
