Juggling is such an underrated activity. Not only is it rhymthmical which, like walking, is quite soothing for the body, but it also promotes cross-hemisphere communication in the brain.
Our hands get a lot of neural real-estate (see grotesque homunculi) so, unlike walking, activities targeting their communication have significant potential for shaping neural patterns.
Apparently Einstein had an above-normal number of connections in the corpus callosum. I reckon he was an ambitious juggler.

- lukas099 3y agoI think it's correctly rated. There are other activities which have the benefits you stated, but spark more joy in humans, such as piano-playing. I'm glad that people juggle, but I'm also glad that more people play piano.
- FabHK 3y agoIt also has a meditative component if you practice for an extended period.
