Have you ever noticed that your most brilliant ideas don’t show up when you’re grinding—but when you’re doing nothing? Like in the shower, on a walk, or while driving?
That’s not a fluke. It’s neuroscience.
In this video, we look at the default mode network—a powerful part of your brain that switches on when you’re not actively thinking. It’s where creativity brews, insights emerge, and connections form without effort.
More importantly, we explore how this ties into human flourishing.
In a world that prizes hustle and noise, flourishing reminds us of the value of margin—those sacred pauses that let your mind wander, reflect, and reset. Insight, it turns out, isn’t a product of stress. It’s the fruit of rest.
What you might learn in this short video:
Why your brain is most creative when you’re off-task
How boredom and silence fuel breakthrough thinking
Why slowing down is essential for flourishing, not just productivity
