Wallace J. Nichols: “How the ocean affects your brain”

NewAtlantis Ocean Podcast

Dr. Wallace J. Nichols is the author of the book Blue Mind and a former senior scientist at Ocean Conservancy.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The “blue mind” and the neuroscience behind how water can increase calm, diminish anxiety, and lead to better mental health
  • How understanding the wellness benefits of water is an underused and powerful ally in the fight for ocean conservation
  • The power of personal experience
  • What it takes to get into your “blue mind”

And much more!
