Wondering Awe Is the Mediator of the Link Between Experience of Nature and Psychological Wellbeing—Relevance for Public Health

Merely being in nature does not substantially affect well-being. Rather, mindful perception of nature as a space where modern public health practices, such as mindful walking, are particularly effective, is essential. From a public health and urban planning perspective, accessible, quiet, and aesthetically engaging green spaces that attract and fascinate people should be prioritized to foster such restorative experiences.

Abstract

Merely being in nature does not substantially affect well-being. Rather, mindful perception of nature as a space where modern public health practices, such as mindful walking, are particularly effective, is essential. From a public health and urban planning perspective, accessible, quiet, and aesthetically engaging green spaces that attract and fascinate people should be prioritized to foster such restorative experiences.
