Requests:  2 Summary:  Discusses the importance of humans' connection to water and how people are drawn to being in, on, or around oceans, rivers, and lakes and points to recent findings in neuroscience that indicate that proximity to water can improve mood, performance, health, and success. There's something about water that attracts and fascinates us. No wonder: it's the most omnipresent substance on Earth and, along with air, the primary ingredient for supporting life. From afar, our planet looks like a blue marble; we ourselves are three-quarters H2O. We know instinctively that being near water makes us healthier and happier, reduces stress, and brings us peace. But why? And what might the answer tell us about how we should be living our lives? Now, we can finally answer these questions--and those answers are life-changing. As Wallace Nichols reveals here, we are at the forefront of a wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research that illuminates the physiological and brain processes that underlie our transformative connection to water. Drawing on this breakthrough science, and on compelling personal stories from athletes, scientists, veterans, and artists, Nichols shows how 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Item being held Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Transit Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.91 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList
