His book The Nature Principle: Reconnecting with Life in a Virtual Age offers a new vision of the future in which our lives are as immersed in nature as they are in technology. Serving as a companion handbook to the two prior books, Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life is a complete prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now.
