The brain routinely softens every situation for an individual so that they can move on with their lives to other circumstances. The imagination is the part of the brain that each individual controls. They use this imagination to create a world that satisfies them. When someone encounters an obscurity they mechanically search for an explanation. If an explanation can not be found a person will use their imagination to make-up an answer, even if it is not the right one. Though we think an explanation will make us happy, it is the mystery and the search for an answer that keeps us in high spirits. In short, people have no idea what they need. Sacks and Jenkins demonstrate how the mind’s eye helps people through life, but Gilbert shows that it is mystery and imagination that keeps people happy.

It helps us to understand why we develop anxiety and depression. He suggests us struggling against unhappy anxious thoughts and make friends with our minds.

I used my imagination to find another way to do something when I was bored. I would play with my sister in our bedroom, we first stacked up all the pillows in the room that we were in, then I would try and get on top of the pillow tower. Then as I struggled up the pillow tower, it felt like I was taller than my sister, or even at the top of the world! After that, the tower fell, it felt like I was skydiving, then when I hit the bed I bounced as if I was on a trampoline, then I would lie on my back laughing. Sometimes our mom would be going into the room to check on us, sometimes she says,"Be careful", or, "Clean up when you're done."

It’s no secret that listening to or playing music is enjoyable, but studies have proven that music can boost more than just your mood.
