| This book in any form is a must
read for those who love water or are known as “water
babies!” “Water babies” is a term for those
who love to be in or surrounded by water as much as possible
(i.e. swimming, boating, fishing, etc.) This author did a
wonderful job on presenting facts and reasoning within the
book as well as putting stories from people who love water
and how it affects them. I believe Mr. Nichols had a broad
curiosity about why and how water affects different people
and why a fair amount of the population is fascinated with
being around or near water.
My daughter and I are considered “water babies”
and although my husband never learned how to swim he has always
had a fascination with water as well. None of us could figure
out why we loved it so much or why we felt such a calm feeling
come over us anytime we were near it… until we all listened
to this audio-book. I feel that my family and I learned a
lot from listening to this book and I have learned many new
things that I plan to put to use in our lives. Mr. Nichols
did a wonderful job of including stories from other people
in order to support his findings and to help explain his theories.
I am so thankful that I was allowed to read and review this
book.
If anyone has a curiosity about water and its many effects
on people and nature itself then I suggest this is a book
to read. I thought Wallace Nichols did a wonderful job narrating
his book; I found it to be interesting and well read. I couldn't
help but be fascinated by listening to him read Blue Mind;
I felt like I was in a classroom and he was the teacher in
front of the class discussing this subject and explaining
his findings. I was a little sad when I finished the book
because I was enjoying getting to listen and learn something
new all at once. Out of a score of 10 I give Blue Mind
and Mr. Nichols a “10.”
