Mindwandering: How It Can Improve Your Mood and Boost Your Creativity (Paperback)
Moshe Bar (author)Published: 19/01/2023

Examining the significant portion of our brains that are occupied in daydreaming and dealing with intrusive thoughts, neuroscientist Bar's enlightening work outlines both the benefits and costs of such mental activity.
Your brain is noisy. Certain regions are always grinding away at involuntary activities like daydreaming and intrusive thoughts - taking up to forty-seven percent of your waking time. This is mindwandering.
Mindwandering is the first popular book to explore the phenomenon of our wandering minds and the cutting-edge new research behind it. Cognitive neuroscientist Moshe Bar combines his decades of research to explain the benefits and the possible cost of mindwandering within the broader context of psychology, neuroscience, psychiatry and philosophy.
He provides you with practical knowledge that can help strengthen your relationships with others, increase your concentration at work and reduce your anxiety.
