As soon as I learned that studying insight was a thing you could do scientifically, I knew it was what I wanted to dedicate my life to. When I applied to grad school in 2018, I opened up the table of contents of the 1994 version (The Nature of Insight)...
Studying Insight problem-solving has been a life-long dream for me. I thank all the great collaborators I met along the way and I learned from. Some of which I had the honor to work with during the making of this book @JohnKounios @RubenLaukkonen @JonathanSchool6 @christinecheesy

Why do we care about flow states? They feel good. We perform our best on a task we care about. And, over time, gain awareness into our minds’ optimal state @sciam Just published my piece with @JohnKounios on creative flow states in jazz improvisation. 🧠🎸🌊 Huzzah!!
