Does the fact that fifty percent of our waking hours find us failing to focus on the task at hand represent a problem? This book shows you why, rehabilitating, woolgathering and revealing its incredibly useful effects and how mind-wandering not only frees you from moment-to-moment drudgery, but also from the limitations of our immediate selves.
