review 1: I really wanted to like this book. I myself am a marine scientist who is a researcher in the field of oceans and human health, so I was excited to read this book. But I found myself skimming huge sections. As a whole the book lacked focus. There were a lot of anecdotes and personal revelations, and I was expecting more of a focused science. It was boring and didn't hold my attention. Maybe it's a better read for someone who isn't a scientist.
review 2: Great book! It explores the new wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research that underlie our physiological and brain processes that connect us to water. Using EEGs and MRIs, among other tools, the author- Wallace Nichols takes a deep look at "how being near, in, on or under water can make y... moreou happier, healthier, more connected, and better at what you do."Having been a scuba diver for more than twenty years, I can personally attest to the value of spending time in conjunction with water. The years that I spent diving were among the happiest of my life. After reading this insightful book, I now understand why. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those searching for a way to feel better- easily. less
