Why city buildings are bad for mental health #shorts

So looking at certain patterns is good for mental health. If you think of life in a city, it’s a lot of like right angles and in nature that doesn’t really exist. And so there’s a lot of these um patterns called fractals which are these like repeating patterns and those seem to be really good for mental health. That’s crazy science. Yeah. What do you think that’s all about? I think it pro I mean a lot of my work looks back at evolution and like I think a lot of the things that um make people healthy and happy were things that we used to do in the past every single day and be exposed to in the past and now we’re just in these like modern built environments that I will say they’re obviously great right I’m not like some people will hear me talk and they’ll be like oh so you’re saying I should go live like a caveman it’s like no not at all what I I am saying is that if you’re only living and existing in the built environment and doing the next easiest thing, I can tell you that you’ll probably be dis more dissatisfied.

Urban life’s harsh angles vs. nature’s fractals: could repeating patterns be the key to unlocking better mental health? Modern environments may be convenient, but they might also leave one feeling profoundly ‘dissatisfied’. #mentalhealth #nature #fractals #urbanlife #wellbeing
