Spending time in nature has so many benefits to psychological and physical health. In this fun, informative talk, Erica Wohldmann shares some lessons she learned while living in the forest that can be applied to life in the urban wild.
Dr. Erica Wohldmann is a scientist, a passionate environmentalist, and a lover of unfenced country. She earned a joint Ph.D. in cognitive psychology and cognitive science from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 2006, and is currently an Associate Professor at California State University, Northridge where she teaches classes about the psychology of food choices, best practices in sustainability, ecopsychology, and positive psychology.
