Ecopsychology

Ecopsychology argues that the psyche is not contained in the skull but spreads out into the landscape — that our inner life and the outer world are more entangled than we have been trained to believe. Nasreddin would have agreed, with the observation that his best thinking happened on the road and his worst in rooms. The examined life is not only an inner journey; it is also a journey into the world that formed you.
