Along the lines of a past article I wrote on this site, I have come across a great book entitled "Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well Being." Written by Dr. Esther Sternberg, the book talks about how a beautiful environment can help speed healing. As Dr. Sternberg states: "When you look at beautiful vistas, a part of your brain that's rich in endorphin centers lights up. This causes the brain to release chemicals that can enhance the immune system," These findings are becoming so accepted that many hospitals being built are situating their buildings so as to incorporate more light and views. Studies show that health is improved and healing expedited.
