$Win a copy of "The Wandering Mind"

Competition Details & Terms

Rooted in neuroscience, psychology and evolutionary biology, but written with Corballis’ signature wit and wisdom, The Wandering Mind takes us into the world of the “default-mode network” to tackle the big questions: What do rats dream about? What’s with our fiction addiction? Is the hippocampus where free will takes a holiday? And does mind-wandering drive creativity?

In Pieces of Mind, Michael Corballis took 21 short walks around the human brain. In The Wandering Mind he stretches out for a longer hike into those murky regions of the brain where dreams and religion, fiction and fantasy lurk. Author Michael Corballis is Professor Emeritus at the University of Auckland. He is the author, most recently, of The Recursive Mind: The Origins of Human Language, Thought and Civilization (Princeton University Press, 2011) and Pieces of Mind: 21 Short Walks around the Human Brain (Auckland University Press, 2011).
