It's time to move 'doing nothing' to the top of your to-do list
Today it often feels as though we have completely removed boredom from our lives; we reply to our emails twenty-four hours a day, tweet as we watch TV, watch TV as we commute, check Facebook as we walk and Instagram while we eat. Constant stimulation has become our default mode.
In this accessible, practical book, award-winning journalist Manoush Zomorodi explores the connection between boredom and original thinking, and shows us how embracing time spent doing nothing is the key to becoming our most productive and creative selves.
'Bored and Brilliant shows the fascinating side of boredom. Manoush Zomorodi investigates cutting-edge research as well as compelling (and often funny) real-life examples to demonstrate that boredom is actually a crucial tool for making our lives happier, more productive, and more creative. What's more, the book is crammed with practical exercises for anyone who wants to reclaim the power of spacing out'
Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
'Manoush's mix of personal stories, neuroscience, and data will convince you that boredom is actually a gift'
Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Smarter, Faster, Better
'A breezy and engaging book that is a little philosophy and a lot of self-help. This could do for unplugging what Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up did for decluttering'
