Water On The Brain: "Blue Mind"

Hachette Book Group

Many of us could sit by the ocean for hours.  And it's more than just the sound of the rushing waves or the smell of the salt air, because we can bliss out by the side of a river or a lake just as easily. 

Wallace J. Nichols says there's plenty of science to support this, science he shares in 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.

So grab a seat by your favorite body of water and listen to the author unfold his tale.
