Can simply being near the ocean wash away stress?
In his N Y Times bestselling book, BLUE MIND , marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, shares the remarkable truth about the benefits of being in, on, under, or simply near water. Combining cutting-edge research with compelling personal stories, Dr. Nichols 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.
Dr. Wallace "J." Nichols is a research associate at California Academy of Sciences and co-founder of OceanRevolution.org, an international network of young ocean advocates: of SEEtheWILD.org, a conservation travel network; GrupoTortuguero.org, an international sea turtle conservation network: and LiVBLUE.org, a global campaign to reconnect people to our water planet.
BLUE MIND connects the dots: neuroscience and psychology, nature and conservation, art and science, poetry and practice in profoundly important new ways. The result is an emerging, exciting, fast-growing new field we call Neuroconservation. With new research and more discoveries about "blue space" yet to come.
