There is a brief review of a study done by
Ruth Ann Atchley on nature and creativity in a recent
Huffington Post article. The study showed that the backpackers were 50% more creative after four days in the outdoors.
"Atchley discussed the value nature provides to the human mind: 'Nature
is a place where our mind can rest, relax and let down those threat
responses,' she said."
I love reading about creativity and this article caught my eye. Atchley reconfirms how beneficial being in back-county is. Have you noticed a calming effect on your trips?
I am one of the visitors of your site. I hope you will show more such material or data to put in our use.
