Publisher's Synopsis
Discover why you "unfocus" and how to harness this innate tendency in order to become more innovative, less stressed, and, ironically, a sharper thinker in the boardroom, living room or classroom, from a Harvard psychiatrist and brain imaging researcher. Harvard psychiatrist and brain imaging researcher, Dr. Srini Pillay, takes readers on a fascinating and highly-useful tour of cognitive rhythm, mindsets, and mental relaxation, showing that it is actually our ability to "unfocus"-allowing ourselves to be mindless or to let our minds wander strategically-that leads to more productivity, creativity, innovation, and success. Offering techniques for training our brains to unfocus, strategies for introducing unfocus into our otherwise highly-focused days, as well as ideas for controlling this new cognitive-toggling capability, Tinker Dabble Doodle Try will change how you think about daydreaming, relaxing, leaving work unfinished, and even multitasking
