His article speaks volumes. In short, people who spend time in nature are less greedy and more thoughtful.

I do not think it is possible to be upset in the woods. Squirrels are instant smile-makers, and the sun could melt any foul mood.

Re: What it means to be outside...
So why does viewing nature — as opposed to something constructed by humans — seem to have this effect? The authors say they don’t know the exact mechanism, though they speculate that it has something to do with “shifting people’s preferences from immediate gratification to larger but more distant payoffs.”
That seems very logical to me.
