Blue Mind is a landmark book by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols on the remarkable effects of water on our health and well-being. Read why we are drawn to the ocean each summer and how being near water sets our mind and bodies at ease.

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.
