Summary:
"We know instinctively that being near water makes us healthier and happier, reduces stress, and brings us peace. But why? A wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research illuminates the physiological and brain processes that underlie our transformative connection to water. Proximity to water can improve performance in a wide range of fields, increase calm and diminish anxiety much better than medication, amplify creativity, artistic and otherwise, increase generosity and compassion, increase professional success, improve our overall health and well-being and reinforce our connection to the natural world and one another"--From publisher description.
