Nature

Nature has a calming effect on the soul. Now scientific research shows that it also has a positive effect on the brain.

Anne Frank’s insight - The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

The best place to live for achieving innovation with happiness is in a city but next to a green patch with a diverse variety of trees. The reason is that there are no negative reactions in the brain as there are when one walks on a busy city street. There are no material choices to make, no dull and dreary people lost in dead habit, no noise, no hurry, no artificial sounds, no cemented structures, no polluted air.
Thoreau regarded Nature as his God.
John Muir’s observation - Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
