The author argues that daydreaming / letting your mind roam might be good for you, let your brain take a step back from the imminent pressures of now and reevaluate the past and the future and realign the experiences and memories of your brain.
However, it seems like this is a bad idea if stressed - you'll ruminate and stress over the current stressors. So this perhaps this is best explored on vacation

author advocates for long form content as a form to a way to build empathy
this can be fiction books, or maybe a TV series. need to focus long term on living inside the mind of another, so you can understand feelings
in some studies, children/adults who read fiction appear to be better at tasks such as recognizing facial emotions
