Thoughts: The inside story

What are thoughts, and what exactly is thinking? Take a trip into the fantastic, ceaseless world our minds create

TRY, if you can, to imagine a life without thought. For a human being it wouldn’t be much of an existence. Thoughts fill our every waking moment, and whether they are insightful, banal, playful or bizarre, there is no denying that thinking comes naturally to us. We might say that thought is to human beings what flight is to eagles and swimming is to dolphins.
