In that moment, our conscious mind has detached from the current task at hand and drifted elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur attention is a powerful lens which allows us to pick out and filter relevant details from the vast amounts of information our brains receive. So, how does our brain decide where to go when it wanders? Why does it focus on one thing over another? How important is daydreaming and why do we do it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, daydreaming was considered to be a single state of mind. However, recent research has shown that not only are there different states of daydreaming, but these states are actually governed by different neurological pathways, meaning not all mind wandering is the same!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhy Our Minds Wander\u003c\/em\u003e, Arnaud Delorme PhD examines the science and theory behind why we daydream, examining its potential purpose. He shows you how to tame your 'monkey mind' and offers easy techniques that will enable you to develop the skill of mind wandering to improve your mood and foster greater creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46869178155244,"sku":"9781801292788","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9027973482829.jpg?v=1759785890","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/why-our-minds-wander-by-arnaud-delorme-9781801292788","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
