Well, I don’t know where you are but I am guessing that one of the biggest questions you’ve been asking yourself lately is about self-care.
How do you take care of yourself if you are socially distancing or taking care of the others for weeks or months on end? What tools can you use? As the world is shifting, how do we all make sure you are taking care of our personal well-being? My mental health is being challenged right now and I am guessing yours may be, too.
Well, today I bring you the very first virtual chapter of 3 Books, featuring Dr. Qing (pronounced “Ching”) Li all the way from Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Li is the world’s foremost authority in forest medicine. A medical doctor at Tokyo’s Nippon Medical School, he has been a visiting fellow at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and is the founding chairman of the Japanese Society for Forest Medicine. He’s also the author of several books including the international bestseller Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness.
I am so grateful that the kind and generous Dr. Qing Li accepted my invitation to come on 3 Books.
I hope you find the conversation as informative and inspiring as I did.
Let’s go!

What is forest therapy? What are the immune-boosting properties of being in nature?
