The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging

description

Julia Hotz explores social prescribing — a health care approach that connects people to community activities like art, gardening, and volunteering to improve well-being. Through science and personal stories collected through hands-on research, Hotz shows how this practice helps treat conditions like depression and loneliness while easing pressure on health systems. The book offers a hopeful vision of healing by reconnecting to what truly matters.
