About the Book:
For more than 2,500 years, humans have strayed from nature, challenging humanity with immeasurable consequences.
In 7 Principles of Nature, neuropsychologist Aldrich Chan unravels the roots of this misalignment through a compelling theory of its development, charting three critical phases that lead to a misguided future. Blending the rigor of science with the wisdom of Daoism—an ancient philosophy rooted in nature—Dr. Chan reveals a path toward integration. Packed with insightful reflections and practical techniques, 7 Principles of Nature is a must-read for reclaiming connection and empowering mental health.
