Borcherds

Is your imagination the most powerful force you have ever encountered?

Do you have stories in your head that are more exciting and compelling than reality could ever be?

Are your deepest and most authentic relationships with people who don’t exist?

If so, you may have a trait called immersive daydreaming. But if the epic movie that’s playing in your mind is getting in the way of real life, and you’re finding it difficult to work or study or connect with people, then your harmless immersive daydreaming may have turned into destructive maladaptive daydreaming.

In this book, Kyla Borcherds explains how and why the stories in your head have grown into a damaging addiction that’s now holding you back in different aspects of your life. She walks you through the four-step plan that she used to overcome her own maladaptive daydreaming and shows you how to use your talent for immersive daydreaming to tap into an unlimited source of inspiration and motivation that can transform your life.

Extreme Imagination is the most comprehensive guide to overcoming maladaptive daydreaming published to date. This book offers understanding, validation, hope and actionable steps that will enable you to turn your imagination from a dangerous distraction into your greatest gift.
