Water, deemed essential for life by all ancient traditions, is undeniably central to our existence. While the importance of water for our survival is indisputable, it appears that more 'advanced' societies often overlook this significance, taking water for granted and failing to fully appreciate its benefits.

"Blue Mind" is a term coined by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols that refers to the meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction that people often experience when in or near water. In this episode, my guest, New York Times best-selling author of “Blue Mind” Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, explains the positive effects water has on our well-being. As a marine biologist and father, Dr. Nichols explores how water activities benefit children. He emphasizes the importance of incorporating water-related experiences into parenting, and how by doing so, parents can promote their children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development while instilling a lifelong connection with nature. This episode highlights the profound impact water has on happiness, health, and family bonding.
