Tranquillity (also spelled tranquility) is the quality of calm experienced in places with mainly natural features and activities, free from disturbance from man-made areas.

Benefits

Psychological research has highlighted why tranquillity is important. Being in a tranquil place allows people to relax, to escape from the stresses and strains of everyday life and to “recharge their batteries”.

Enjoyment

For many, the chance to experience tranquillity is what makes the countryside different from cities. In a survey by the United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) 58% of people said that tranquillity was the most positive feature of the countryside. Just as great art, design, and traditions allow us to enjoy our identity, so tranquillity allows us to see, hear, and feel the spectacular beauty of the natural world.

Health

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) mental illness such as depression is likely to be the primary cause of ill health by 2020.In addition there is growing concern in many Western countries about obesity.

There is mounting evidence which shows that exposure to nature can contribute to physical and psychological wellbeing. A review of over 100 studies into stress among 16-21 year-olds showed visiting natural environments to experience tranquillity and solitude is an important stress-reliever. Other studies have found that exposure to nature helps people recover from drug and alcohol addictions.

Children who visit the countryside regularly are less likely to be obese and to suffer from attention-deficit disorder.

Economic

Since seeking tranquillity is an important reason why many people visit the countryside, the presence of tranquil areas helps boost rural tourism. Since rural tourism in the UK directly supports 380,000 jobs and £13.8 billion annually to the economy, and a recent survey showed that tranquillity is the main reason why 49% of visitors go are attracted to the countryside, one can conclude that tranquillity is worth 186,200 jobs and £6.76 billion a year to the economy.

How to see the hearts in Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility?
Q. i know there's the heart system in every game of harvest moon. but in Tree of Tranquility, where can i actually see it and know how many hearts a villager has? btw, the "heart" is the level of affection of a villager toward the character you're playing. it can be on a friendly or love level

A. Just hold the C button for a few seconds (but it can't be while you're speaking to someone or transitioning from one area to another) and you'll be brought to a menu you can scroll through. Scroll until you're on the picture of a heart and you can see all of the villagers heart levels.

Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility: How long does it take to get my monkey?
Q. I have been giving the monkey fruit or herbs every day and then I talk to him. Most of the time a heart will appear above his head, but only one. How long does it take before I can get him? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

A. You can adopt him once you have gotten it to 6 hearts. You can check your progress by holding down the C button on the nunchuk, scrolling down to relations, and then scrolling down to wild animals. It will then tell you how many hearts you have with your monkey. The fastest way to get your monkey is by giving him gifts that he likes. Some of them are: Shining Corn, Shining Yam, Shining Strawberry, Shining Watermelon, Shining Apple, Banana, Chocolate Banana, Banana Milk, and Grilled Yam. Good luck adopting your monkey!
