The above link is research I have looked at regarding phenomenology, warm bath theory and psycho-geography, all from a sociological aspect. This was because phenomenology is a large field to a explore from all aspects and because I have previously studied sociology and continue to study sociology I decided to take this view point. A sociological viewpoint would be, how does society effect our experiences?
