Show Notes
Wallace J. Nichols, or J as he’s better known to friends and family, is the author of the book Blue Mind: The Surprising Science that Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. His book, and his continual work on spreading its message, sparked a global Blue Mind movement that I hope will keep rippling out for decades to come.
Sadly, J passed away only a handful of months after we recorded this interview. While his loss will be deeply felt by many around the world forever, he wanted his powerful message to be shared and the work is far from done.
In this interview, J delivers a masterclass on Blue Mind. Over the last decade, J honed the fundamentals of Blue Mind so tightly, which means that this conversation is layered with his wisdom that I know I’ll be studying for years to come. I hope you find something meaningful in this conversation, and if you do, please share it with a friend so we can keep J’s wave flowing out into the world.
Thank you J for the mentorship you’ve given me, even when you didn’t know it. I’ll be forever grateful. Deepest condolences to J’s family and may he rest in peace. As J always said - “I wish you water.”
Enjoy the Ride,
Jeff
