Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. In this week's episode, we talk to cognitive neuroscientist Moshe Bar.
He's the author of Mindwandering: How Your Constant Mental Drift Can Improve Your Mood and Boost Your Creativity (£18.99, Bloomsbury). Moshe explains what the brain does when it goes wandering and how you can use the act of mindwandering – or daydreaming as some might call it – to give your mood and creativity a boost.
