His best-selling new book, Blue Mind, combines cutting-edge neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, human biology, and eco-system analysis with compelling personal stories from top athletes, leading scientists, military veterans, and gifted artists. In conversation with best-selling multi-disciplinary writer and teacher Jaimal Yogis whose latest book is The Fear Project and James Nestor, who wrote Deep—Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves.
