We believe in the 3-day effect, a proven concept that it only takes three days for nature to start having a positive and magical effect on all aspects of your life: health, mental health, productivity and creativity, to name a few. If you are interested in the facts and numbers, please download The Nature Fix by Florence Williams on the Libby app for free and available as a book and audiobook. We highly recommend it.
