Book excerpt: In Thriving on a City Grid, Christina Dietz suggests that we can bring the relaxation, joy, and presence of our natural selves-as we would be in nature-into manmade urban settings. The contemporary world, which is driven by technology and mass consciousness, pressures us to move at an artificial pace. Sadly, this wreaks havoc on our minds and bodies. For restoration and flourishing, Dietz suggests a lifestyle downshift to a self-nurturing oasis or island-time mentality, where we eat more healthfully, cultivate stillness, increase our exposure to green spaces, and play freely. Part mindset guidance, part holistic and toxin-free lifestyle guidance, this is a book for a generation of people who desire to recreate the entire experience of urban dwelling as a haven for people of awakened minds.
