NOVATO, Calif., Nov. 15, 2023 – The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of IONS scientist Dr. Arnaud Delorme’s book, “Why Our Minds Wander: Understand the Science and Learn How to Focus Your Thoughts.” Scheduled for release on December 19, this publication is available for pre-order from Bookshop, Target, and Amazon.

“Why Our Minds Wander” provides a compelling exploration of the science behind our drifting thoughts. Aimed at new and intermediate seekers, this book is the perfect amalgamation of science and spirituality, offering practical advice grounded in rigorous research.

Synopsis:
Daydreaming is a universal experience — our minds often wander away from the task at hand, venturing into realms unknown. But what governs this process? Is mind wandering a monolithic state, or does it involve different neurological pathways?

In “Why Our Minds Wander,” Delorme examines the complex mechanisms of our daydreaming brain. The book reveals the varying states of daydreaming and their distinct neurological underpinnings, challenging the traditional view of mind wandering as a singular state. Delorme offers readers insights into managing their ‘monkey mind,’ presenting easy techniques to harness the power of mind wandering, enhancing mood and fostering creativity.
