Description

Learn how to use light to boost your mood and wellbeing, create a happier, healthier home and enhance your life. The light that surrounds us on a daily basis has a huge impact on our brains, our mood and our mental health. Many of us wake up in the dark, turn on the lights, go to work and sit in front of a computer screen for hours on end, passing our days oblivious to the poor-quality lighting that surrounds us. We complain of headaches, low mood, poor vision and getting the blues, or SAD, in the winter, but rarely do we truly consider the effect that light may be having on our lives. In this brilliant, accessible book, Karl Ryberg explains how light affects our eyes, our health and our wellbeing and inspires us to bring more quality light into our daily life. He provides scientific information to understand the subject, combined with practical advice on maximizing our exposure to natural light, selecting the best lighting to use at home, minimizing the effects of light pollution and blue light from screens and smartphones, working with our body clocks (including light rituals for better sleep), and advice on the use of light therapy and practicing eye yoga to encourage your eye muscles to work effectively.
