Being bored is bad, right? We'll certainly do anything to avoid it
and with smartphones we need never be bored again, as we reply to
our emails 24 hours a day, tweet as we watch TV, watch TV as we
commute, check Facebook as we walk and Instagram while we eat.
Stimulation is good. But what if it's not?
What if what happens
when our mind "wanders" is an essential part of how our brains work
and crucial to our concentration and ability to think creatively?
What if your relationship with distraction is stopping you from
living your fullest life? When award-winning journalist Manoush
Zomorodi posed these question to her listeners on her hugely
popular New York public radio Podcast, the answer, from
neuroscientists, psychologists and experts was a resounding yes. So
over the course of a week, she led her listeners through a week of
exercises designed to help them reassess their technology habits,
unplug for part of each week and jumpstart their creativity. The
response was astonishing.
Now, in Bored and Brilliant, she will
show you why the key to changing everything may be making time to
do nothing by taking you through a series of challenges that will
help you rethink and recalibrate your relationship with technology
in small but important ways. This book is both a fascinating
account of our new relationship with boredom and a practical guide
to inviting a little more of it into your life and reawakening your
creativity and productivity.
