Though we have hundreds of entertainment options today--video
games, the Internet, CD and MP3 players, home entertainment
centers, sporting events, megamalls, movie theaters, and even
robotic toys--Western culture is battling an insidious disease.
It's an epidemic of boredom. Intrigued by this "deadness of soul,"
Richard Winter uses the latest historical, physiological and
psychological research to probe the nature, causes and effects of
boredom. He explores
- why some people are more likely to get bored than others
- the indifference and the loss of meaning among youth
- the attraction of extreme sports
- how advertising promotes apathy
- the link between boredom and addictions to violence and
pornography
Not satisfied with mere description and analysis, Winter also
offers practical ways to counteract boredom by learning to live
with passion and wonder. So don't just turn on the TV, surf all the
available channels and complain "there's nothing on." Instead, read
this book!
