Keep Looking Up: Your Guide to the Powerful Healing of Birdwatching Paperback – 7 March 2023

I love the simple, timeless premise of this book: looking at birds can heal you. A beautiful thought, well expressed by this author’s touching story.

The author’s writing is so beautiful. It transports me with her stories. It invited me to open my heart to beauty. I will keep looking up because of it. Highly recommend

I found this an uplifting and soothing read that piqued my interest in not only birding but in being more aware of nature around me.I enjoyed that the author mixed her personal journey and her struggles with health with her guide to discovering the power of bird watching. I liked that it worked as a guide, a workbook and included reflection along with her personal journey into the birding world and the ability it had to help her heal. I have found myself being reminded to look up on days that I feel down or discouraged and be aware of not only the birds around me but nature in general with has the ability to sooth and pull me out of myself and make my heart feel lighter. I appreciate that the book also addresses those with all levels of ability and circumstances. One day I was ill and just sitting on the couch and remembered to look out the window and sure enough spotted a bird busily going back and forth making her nest and I felt my mood lift. In the past I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.I enjoyed this book and feel that it would be helpful to anyone who appreciates outdoor spaces, nature, birds or just discovering the healing properties of looking outside themselves to see the wonder around them!

This book has added a new dimension to birdwatching. I love the healing aspect of birdwatching. I've seen it work with my mother after a health issue and it gave her a lot of peace in her last days. Thank you Tammah Watts for writing this lovely book and passing along your experience of healing through birds!

Ms. Watt’s book is informative, entertaining, and practical - I read it in a couple of days - and I like how there are spots to journal/sketch while birdwatching and hence apply the knowledge that the author is teaching us.I also enjoyed her personal anecdotes throughout the book and the gentle guidance she gives us on how birdwatching can enhance our spiritual well being and our lives.Highly recommend!
