About this listen

Discover how 15 minutes a day can awaken your creative magic and spark joy

Have you ever been so absorbed in writing, drawing, cooking, dancing, yoga, music or crafting that you lost track of time? In neuroscience, this is known as ‘flow’, a focused state where the mind and body are at their most serene.

In this book, former dancer and neuroscientist Julia Christensen reveals why you experience overthinking and shares a 7-step method to create a reliable pathway to flow and effortlessly unlock the creative genius within you. Boost your mood, calm your mind, and enjoy the magic of flow every day.

Critic Reviews

An illuminating, fun read into the science of creativity, awash with practical tips on how to ‘reverse engineer’ the sort of flow state we all desire to achieve in our lives.
Intelligent and accessible with great insights and research ... I can already think of several people I'd love to send this to!
I thoroughly recommend reading this beautiful book
Wow, I love this book! - the integration of neuroscience, creativity and play; the bringing together of how our brains work and why we need play in order to heal and live.
Outstanding. Creativity has been waiting for a book to be written by a scientist of Christensen’s calibre.
Fascinating, engaging, fun, astonishing and absolutely delightful! I enjoyed every minute of this fabulous book. I learned a lot, both about the science of flow and its relation to the arts, but also about writing well.
Engaging in an activity that activates the flow state can enhance our sense of growth and purpose in life, which is known to be beneficial for mental health. As Christensen had observed during her dance practice, it can also calm ruminative thinking, helping us to find greater mental peace long after we have finished the activity.
