Synopsis:

*HARNESS THE POWER OF FLOW IN 2025: NEW YEAR, NEW YOU*

Wow, I love this book!Dr Jeff Rediger, Harvard Medical School | ‘Absolutely delightfulJoseph Devlin, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL | 'I thoroughly recommend reading this beautiful book' David Robson

Whether you feel in the zone by playing an instrument, cooking, drawing, dancing or crafting, research shows that just 15 minutes a day channelling creative “flow” can transform your life. Using neuroscience and inspiring stories of everyday artists, Dr Christensen uncovers how the coveted flow state can help you experience mindfulness benefits without meditating.

After an injury derailed her career as a ballet dancer, Julia’s inability to dance left her more stressed and less energetic. She realised then that creative expression has a deeper impact than entertainment: this sparked her new career in psychology. As a neuroscientist, she’s spent the past decade unlocking the secrets of flow, mapping out what happens in our brains when we create and play, and how both can soothe and sharpen the mind.

This book teaches us to ignite our creativity daily, revealing:

• Why we ruminate or procrastinate – and how to snap out of it
• Why making even ‘bad’ art can be a mood booster
• How adopting a creative practice can improve problem-solving
• How to build a science-backed practice that suits you best
• Why art can be your trusted companion during trauma-healing

The Pathway to Flow reveals why we are all artists at heart, and how embracing this part of our humanity can help us regulate our nervous system, enjoy the current moment and reconnect with our bodies.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A new scientific 7-step process for achieving mindfulness and unlocking your creativity at will.What if you could enter a calm and focused state where you feel entirely absorbed and productive, without any effort at all?If you've ever experienced the blissful feeling of being fully immersed in a project, of ideas and solutions coming to you naturally, or of getting lost in thought when cooking, playing music, or dancing, then you've accessed the flow state. Often we stumble into it, but what if you could access and unlock its healing and energising powers whenever needed?While this may sound too good to be true to anyone who has suffered from writer's block, neuroscientist and former ballerina Dr. Julia F. Christensen will prove to you how creativity is, in fact, always within our reach.Backed by cutting-edge science, research and case studies from artists and everyday people, The Pathway to Flow charts the path to unlocking creativity at will and using it to improve our wellbeing regardless of artistic ability. Using ancient solutions to solve modern problems, this book will reveal how we are all artists, and teach you how to harness the flow state with seven simple steps to help improve your mind-body connection, unleash your creativity, and strengthen your ability to be calm, focused and inspired throughout your everyday life.
