E154: Moshe Bar on the Unexpected Power of Mindwandering


Listen Later

On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Moshe Bar.


Moshe is a neuroscientist, the former director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Harvard Medical School, and author of the book Mindwandering.


In the next hour, you’re going to learn:


→ What Mindwandering is, and why our brains spend a massive 47% of our waking hours non-consciously thinking about things that we’re not in control of


→ How letting your mind wander and become distracted in the moment can actually help boost creativity and productivity


→ The science behind visualisation and how the brain processes our imagination in a similar way to actual memories


→ Where shower thoughts come from, and how to foster better thoughts in your life.


And so much more.
