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

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!
