Our disconnection from nature. We have made a habit of spending so much time inside versus spending time outside. And again, we're paying a huge price for it. Today we spend more than 90% of our times indoors, often in front of screens for 10 plus hours a day. Think about how contrasting that is even from 100 years ago. Forget about 200, 300 or 500 years ago, how contrasting that is. On top of that, in cities where we are living, which are getting more and more crowded, we are getting rid of natural spaces around us, we're literally beating nature out of our environment and paying a huge price for it. We're paying the price in terms of increased stress and anxiety, higher levels of depression and irritability.
