Description

The Shape of Things Unseen: A New Science of Imagination by Adam Zeman Our imagination is often thought of as a creative tool, but in reality, it's a fundamental part of our daily lives. We use it to reminisce, anticipate, plan, daydream, and even read. Yet, we tend to think we're living in the here and now more than we actually are. This book offers a fascinating insight into how our imagination works, drawing on the latest scientific research in neuroscience, human origins, and child development. By exploring the latest studies on the human brain, neurologist Adam Zeman reveals that our brains behave in surprisingly similar ways when we observe, remember, imagine, or act. This understanding has far-reaching implications, from how we visualize to how we understand the minds of others. The book also delves into the benefits of play and the complexities of mental disorders, making it a valuable guide to the workings of the human mind. Through its comprehensive and engaging approach, The Shape of Things Unseen sheds new light on the power and importance of imagination in our lives.
