If you want to know more about water, this would be a good book. I've always loved the waves and want to be in them, beside them, listening to them all the time, if I could. I was pleased that he mentioned that the sound of the waves is very much like the sound babies hear in the womb. It was interesting, but nothing I didn't know or couldn't figure out. I really think this author had the equivalent of a half hour documentary (it reads like a documentary) or a presentation and he had to fill to get a whole book out of it. Maybe you know someone who could benefit by this information. Water is good for - all types of people - diseases - addictions - on and on. **We need to drink more water, but not too much too fast. Lots of information on happiness, which I have in several other books, only in less detail. Lots of stuff on the brain and neuroplasticity how the brain works (very basic stuff) and more statistics and studies. **Water and the color blue have positive effects on our human brains. Lots of personal stories of people in water, fishing in water, boating in water, etc. Humans love water and water is good for us. So no matter where you live on this big blue marble, it's time to get your brain on water. Water's tremendous benefits stretch from the sea to the swimming pool, from a barrier reef to a glass of water - even a fishbowl, photograph, or painting. reinforce our connection to the natural world - and one anotherīlue Mind isn't just about oceans, lakes, and rivers. improve our overall health and well-being amplify creativity - artistic and otherwise increase calm and diminish anxiety much better than medication improve performance in a wide range of fields Drawing on this breakthrough science, and on compelling personal stories from top athletes, leading scientists, military veterans, and gifted artists, Nichols shows precisely how proximity to water can:
That research, involving tools like EEGs, MRIs, and fMRIs, is uncovering remarkable truths about water's incredibly powerful, and startlingly profound, effects on our bodies and souls.
Nichols reveals in Blue Mind, we are now at the forefront of a wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research that illuminates the phsysiological and brain processes that underlie our transformative connection to water.
But why? And what might the answer tell us about how we should be living our lives?Īfter centuries of asking these questions, we can finally answer them - and those answers are life changing. We know instinctively that being near water makes us healthier and happier, reduces stress, and brings us peace. From far, far outside, our planet looks like a blue marble from deep inside, we ourselves are three-quarters H2O. No wonder: it's the most omnipresent subnstance on Earth and, along with air, the primary ingredient for supporting life as we know it. There's something about water that attracts and fascinates us.
