In The Nature Principle, Richard Louv argues for addressing nature-deficit disorder in adults, a concept he introduced in his earlier work. Louv highlights the neurological and health benefits of connecting with nature and proposes a "Hybrid Mind" integrating technology and nature. He explores urban planning, public policy changes for greener cities, and emphasizes nature's role in community and individual well-being. The book discusses sensitive topics such as suicide.
