Blue Mind

I've took a few months off school this summer and just doing some "fun" reading…  but still keeping to my psych studies…   

Found a book that will strengthen what you already know about what it is to be on, in or around water… but it's oh so much more…   

  Blue Mind,  Great Book… ammunition for why you NEED to go Fishing…  and get out or into that water...

but don't listen to me,   listen to what some of these authors have to say …

 

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Blue Mind is deep down about human curiosity, knowing ourselves more. If J. weren't curious, we wouldn't be where we are now. The sea, once it casts its spell, does indeed hold us in its net of wonder forever. People do protect what they love. Why are these the two simple ideas we repeat so often? Because they're true." ---Celine Cousteau

"...a fascinating study of the emotional, behavioral, psychological and physical connections that keep humans so enchanted with water." ---Washington Post

"The soothing effect of water is both an ancient and intuitive concept, and by 'adding water' to your travels this curative effect is enhanced even further." ---Wanderlust

"If we can figure out why the sea makes us happier, we can save it." ---Outside Magazine
