S5E55: Episode 55- Moshe Bar - NEUROCREATIVITY 1: Boost your creativity with mindwandering

  In this week’s episode, we interview Professor Moshe Bar, whose new book Mindwandering reveals that the creative brain continues to work hard, even when we’re at rest. As he puts it, “Mindwandering is like mental time travel” because it helps to open the mind up to new possibilities and what might be in the future.  Moshe’s research also suggests that, in order to be creative, the brain needs to be in an ‘exploratory’ mode - open to the world and tolerant of uncertainty.  And that, in turn, means mastering your mindset and particularly recognising the power of a positive mood for unlocking creativity. Moshe Bar is a neuroscientist, director of the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain research centre at Bar Ilan University and head of the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Centre. https://www.moshebar.org/mindwandering https://www.amazon.com.au/Mindwandering-Improve-Your-Boost-Creativity/dp/1408888068/ Ideas & Stories that Matter: https://www.twocommoncreatives.com/workshop Two Common Creatives: https://www.twocommoncreatives.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
