Description

Everyone experiences mental chaos - when the mind is distracted, racing and anxious. But too much mental chaos can have negative impacts on our health and can limit our creativity. Jaime Pineda, professor emeritus of cognitive science at UC San Diego, has spent decades studying how the mind works. His new book “Controlling Mental Chaos: Harnessing the Power of the Creative Mind” focuses on the importance of psychological wellbeing. He says controlling mental chaos leads to positive outcomes including increased creativity, awareness of connection to others and reduction in distorted perceptions. He talks about ways to quiet the mind through mediation and mindfulness training. Series: "Library Channel" [Science] [Show ID: 40066]
