Ideas Books

Based on the ideas in Michael Corballis' book, you probably won't  read to the end of this description. Somewhere in the middle of the next paragraph, your mind will wander off. Minds wander. That’s just how it is.Does the fact that as much as fifty percent of our waking hours find us failing to focus on the task at hand represent a problem?
