The more connected to nature you are, the more you will prosper. Consequently, the less connected you are to nature the more you will suffer from mental and physical disease.

Nature's impact on your health is much deeper and much less hypothetical than you can ever imagine. By the time you finish with this book, you will have explored many questions, found many answers, and yet will leave with even more questions. This is the beautiful reality of nature, because we can follow her lead yet not always have a clear idea of how she works.

Light is one of the most important elements of nature, with it's power giving plants the ability to grow, and this growth sustaining the entire food web on the planet. But light's effects don't stop at plants. Animals, including humans, use sunlight to their advantage, and can even harvest it to power their cells at a foundational level. Light's signals set our circadian rhythm, control the timing in all of our cells, and give us important information about our environment. Without sunlight, we cannot function optimally as humans, and as you will see this leads to many of the modern diseases we see in the world today.

The abstract idea of light interacting with our biology is underpinned by the world of quantum mechanics. This sounds complicated, but we will discuss it in brief and simple terms. Charges, both positive and negative, lie at every intersection of how we work - from genetic expression to healing, and even longevity. Light has the ability to interact with these charges, and this is the key bridge between the light we expose ourselves to and the biological reactions the light controls.

The stage that light plays on is vast. It uses water for almost everything, is embedded into our food as a barcode for where and when the food grew, and can even poison us when it comes from unnatural sources (such as electric vehicles). The most important aspect of light is understanding it's role in aging and disease, due to both a lack of natural light and the presence of unnatural light. In this way, we can truly say our environment is what controls every aspect of our health.

In this book, the author shares his personal experience with both sunlight and man-made light through his own personal health journey. With a tech background working as both an engineer and programmer in Silicon Valley and Seattle, WA, the author shares why he has changed his beliefs, adopting an apprehensive mindset in regard to adoption of man-made technology. Having owned several electric vehicles, the author also shares the dangers they pose to our lives as their prevalence increases globally.
