In this exploration of the human capacity for mental time travel, Michael Corballis examines the evolutionary and psychological significance of the wandering mind. By analyzing how spontaneous thought facilitates creativity, memory, and future planning, the author argues that our tendency to drift away from the present moment is a fundamental feature of cognitive function rather than a mere distraction.
