About Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How
Product Description A landmark book by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols on the remarkable effects of water on our health and well-being. Why are we drawn to the ocean each summer? Why does being near water set our minds and bodies at ease? In Blue Mind, Wallace J. Nichols revolutionizes how we think about these questions, revealing the remarkable truth about the benefits of being in, on, under, or simply near water. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with compelling personal stories from top athletes, leading scientists, military veterans, and gifted artists, he shows how proximity to water can improve performance, increase calm, diminish anxiety, and increase professional success. Blue Mind not only illustrates the crucial importance of our connection to water-it provides a paradigm shifting "blueprint" for a better life on this Blue Marble we call home. Review "Blue Mind" is a fascinating study of the emotional, behavioral,psychological and physical connections that keep humans so enchantedwith water. Nichols examines seas and oceans, lakes and rivers, evenswimming pools and the contents of our bathtubs in a study that is bothhighly readable and rooted in real research. Nichols drawson science and art, hard data and anecdote, and plenty of experience, to explain our blue mind in detail. ~ Washington Post Book Review A persuasive case for water's healing power. ~ Elle Magazine ...a 'Big Idea' book that will change the way you think. ~ Outside Magazine "A beautiful book." ~ Laird Hamilton From the Author I wish you water.
