In "Creativity and the Brain," Mario Tokoro explores the fascinating relationship between human creativity and the mechanisms of the brain. This insightful book delves into the intricate workings of the mind, highlighting the neurological processes that contribute to our ability to think innovatively and generate original ideas.

Drawing on extensive research from both neuroscience and psychology, Tokoro examines the different cognitive processes and mental states associated with creativity.

This thoughtful and informative work will inspire individuals from all walks of life to embrace their innate creativity and unlock their potential to think outside the box.
