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 important part of human cognition and an essential element of creative thinking. What if constant stimulation is killing our creativity?
When award-winning journalist Manoush Zomorodi posed these question to her listeners on her popular New York public radio podcast, the answer, from neuroscientists, psychologists and others was a resounding yes. So over the course of a week, she led thousands of her listeners through a series of experiments and exercises designed to help them reassess their technology habits, unplug for part of each week and jump-start their creativity.
Now in Bored and Brilliant, she will give you the tools to reimagine your relationship with boredom, rebalance your relationship with the digital world and reawaken your creativity and productivity.
