Rooted in neuroscience, psychology and evolutionary biology, this study explores what happens when we stop paying attention and the effect on our behavior. If we’ve done our job well—and, let’s be honest, if we’re lucky—you’ll read to the end of this description. Most likely, however, you won’t. Somewhere in the middle of the next paragraph, your mind will wander off. Minds wander. That’s just how it is. That may be bad news for me, but is it bad news for people in general? Does the fact that as much as fifty percent of our waking hours find us failing to focus on the task at hand represent a problem? Michael Corballis doesn’t think so. With The Wandering Mind, he shows us why, rehabilitating woolgathering and revealing its incredibly useful effects. Drawing on the latest research from cognitive science and evolutionary biology, Corballis shows us how mind-wandering not only frees us from moment-to-moment drudgery, but also from the limitations of our immediate selves. Mind-wandering strengthens our imagination, fueling the flights of invention, storytelling, and empathy that underlie our shared humanity; furthermore, he explains, our tendency to wander back and forth through the timeline of our lives is fundamental to our very sense of ourselves as coherent, continuing personalities. Full of unusual examples and surprising discoveries, The Wandering Mind mounts a vigorous defense of inattention—even as it never fails to hold the reader’s. Praise for The Wandering Mind “[A] conversational, sincere and amusing book about the tendency of our minds to stray from whatever it is we are actually supposed to be focusing on. . . . [An] engaging exploration of the subject.” —Times Higher Education, Book of the Week “Michael Corballis, the scientist, takes you by the hand and weaves through an avalanche of information from psychology, literature, history, and more to elucidate my favorite mental state—mind wandering. His high capacity for erudition, lucidity, and warmth have never shined more brightly.” —Michael S. Gazzaniga “The Wandering Mind is a pleasure to read—a lively book that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.” —Thomas Suddendorf, author of The Gap

"By focusing on experiences of wonder - startling encounters with the true, real, and/or beautiful - Kelly Bulkeley shows that human religiosity (and indeed all creative experience) depends on unexpected moments of radical decentering, generating what science calls new consciousness and what religions call divine revelation."--Cover.

Creativity and the Wandering Mind: Spontaneous and Controlled Cognition summarizes research on the impact of mind wandering and cognitive control on creativity, including imagination, fantasy and play. Most coverage in this area has either focused on the negative consequences of mind wandering on focused problem solving or the positive effect of mindfulness, but not on the positive consequences of mind wandering. This volume bridges that gap. Research indicates that most people experience mind wandering during a large percentage of their waking time, and that it is a baseline default mode of brain function during the awake but resting state. This volume explores the different kinds of mind wandering and its positive impact on imagination, play, problem-solving, and creative production. Discusses spontaneous and controlled processes in creativity Examines the relationship between mind wandering, consciousness, and imagination Reviews research on problem-solving, imagination, play, and learning Highlights the positive impact of mind wandering on creative thought and output

At a very tender age, Robbie Meyers saw his dad’s belligerent side. He saw him fight in bars, get really drunk and high, and disrespectfully treating police officers. Although he didn’t spend much of his time with his dad after his parents’ divorce, Robbie grew up like him. Later, his addiction to drugs and alcohol turned from bad to worse, and he often found himself in horrible circumstances, like waking up beside dead animals or even running his car over a corpse. He didn’t know how it happened, but he knew that his blackouts made him forget what he did. It didn’t help that he befriended Chaz and Rock God, his blood brothers, who not only sunk him deeper into his vices, but also led him to a life of crime. Rattled by self-doubt, guilt, and depression, he made some attempts to become sober, but, whenever he failed, he thought of killing himself. It was at these times that fate would somehow reconnect him with Chaz and Rock God. The three of them, together with their newfound friend, Junior, the ever-reliable drug supplier, Chucky Bear, and a guy named Brandon carried out a successful bank heist. Then he met Jessica. Robbie’s life of crime, sex, drugs, and alcohol continues…
