Best Books about Biophilia and Biophilic Design
There are hundreds of books and articles about well designed homes, mindful living, and biophilic design, and I have read many of the articles and some of the books I would like to share here.
The best handbook I have found for residential interiors is Biophilia you+nature+home written by Sally Coulthard. It is a page turner and beautifully illustrated which makes it easy to learn and remember all the steps for you to implement biophilic design at home.
The second book is Biophilic Design. If you want to have a deep knowledge about the subject I highly recommend this book. It has 98 articles all written by biologists, designers and architects including proven resources about positive effects on humans.
