Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do | Wallace J. Nichols

I was born on a small island and have always felt an affinity to water. I know it makes my soul feel good and my mind bright. I didn‘t realise it was a whole area of academic study! Interesting to see how to put some language around those very deep feelings. #bookmail

MsMelissa I feel most at home when close to water, and when I‘m in the water I never feel like getting out! 5y

atla That‘s how I felt when I read my first book on forest bathing! 5y

Mitch @Book_Fiend_Melissa swimming and being in water is one of the things I‘m really missing during this lockdown. 5y

Been meaning to read this one forever! Full of science-y info, but not densely so. It also examines the unquantifiable ways in which water relaxes, centers, excites, inspires, heals. Overall the book pleased this landlubber who still appreciates being in/on (sometimes) and around (always) water, and I think my marine scientist/ship captain/surfer/fisherman husband will like it even more. 💦 🌊 🏄🏻 🎣 💙

BookNAround This sounds amazing. I am such a water baby! 6y

Christine @BookNAround You may really love this, then! Hope you do, if you pick it up. 💙 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘m just listening to Laird Hamilton talk about this book! Stacking! 5y

I have been wanting to read this for a long time, finally found it in audio book and it's a great explanation on why I crave water (being by or under it) and a reminder that I need more nature in my life. Recommanded to listen to it while walking by a river ;)

If a reader was to feel bored during the first three to four chapters, I would suggest hanging in there. The benefits of water are not the sole focus. The author introduced the Blue Marbles Project which I felt is an inspiring way to love our earth & it‘s inhabitants. If you aren‘t familiar with the Blue Marbles Project check out the book or search @1bluemarble in social media. We need to do all we can for OUR Earth.

I quickly gave up on trying not to borrow more books than I can read... These, plus the five on my lamp table, and the two audiobooks in the car, and the more than 60 books stuffed throughout my bookshelves, which I have bought, but not yet read, and the four books I just ordered at B&N, which should be delivered by Wednesday... I'm going to need more than three weeks.

Sace Oh yeah. I always borrow more than I can possibly read. I never learn. 8y

AmandaL @Sace Every time I return a bunch after too many renewals, I take out twice as many. 8y

I wondered whether water is a mirror for our darker emotions as much as it is an engine for our happiness. Water quiets all the noise, all the distractions, and connects you to your own thoughts.
