Why modern people should spend more time close to water?
If you are feeling stressed, unproductive and even unhappy, water may give you the desired solution.
Blue Mind is the perfect book for people who are looking for natural solutions to the most common modern issues. Problems like anxiety, a decrease of creativity and the absence of inspiration have different root causes and humanity distancing to nature enhance it no matter the challenge you are dealing with.
In his book, Wallace J. Nichols explains how science is getting more and more clear about the power of nature in improving human wellbeing. He goes into detail about the water effects on our brain and how being close to it helps us become more happy e and healthy.
Water sounds, smells, tastes (if they exist) and colours improve our brain associations and help us become more present. In other words, it increases our creativity and even leads us to a meditative state. The contemplation of water settings allows our brain to reach an involuntary attention mode, causing what Nichols defined as brain rest.
Nichols shows how humans need a natural environment and even unconsciously give huge value to it. Humans and all other living species have a wild soul and should rethink the way we interact with nature. If you have any doubt on how to do this, Blue Mind is a precise starting point.
