In this paper, I will begin by discussing why I chose this book to review. I will tell you know how this book made an impression on me. I then will give examples from sources that either will corroborate or contradict what was discussed in the book. Lastly; you will find out how or why the information from the book will or will not affect my personal actions or professional practice.
Book
The book I chose was Go Wild. This book was written by John Ratey and Richard Manning. I chose to read this book because of the synopsis. In it’s own subtitle it says Eat fat, Run free, Be Social, and Follow Evolution’s other rules for total health and well being. It caught my attention because it was basically stating; we do not have to concern ourselves …show more content…
I found this interesting to learn thay humans succeed as a species only to a certain degree. We make connections to everyday things in life. As exampled in the book; “attraction to the color red, makes you notice it more (Manning, 2014).”
Corroboration
It has been shown that nature or the wild does release stress and improve in health. “Results showed that those who walked in forests had significantly lower heart rates and higher heart rate variability (indicating more relaxation and less stress), and reported better moods and less anxiety, than those who walked in urban settings (Suttie, 2016).” Being in nature releases certain hormone and improves health. Also walking bare foot or “Earthing” has benefits. It helps improve eye health, stimulate refelxology to vital organs in the body, relieve stress, and impacting your mood.
Practice Application
Although the book was very insightful; I do not believe I will utilize it in my personal and professional practice. I may keep the book in mind and sample some of what was written in the book for my personal preference; however being that this is not evidence based and has only a select few that have used this method. I will not feel secure enough for my patient to Go Wild; this is something that may or may not hurt my patient. I may suggest them to read the book for themselves and decide. The author is a professor at Harvard Medical School; therefore I do feel some confidence in the book topics; especially the harvest gatherer
